Description: Cryptographic Filesystem
CFS pushes encryption services into the Unix™ file system. It supports
secure storage at the system level through a standard Unix file system
interface to encrypted files. Users associate a cryptographic key with the
directories they wish to protect. Files in these directories (as well as their
pathname components) are transparently encrypted and decrypted with the
specified key without further user intervention.
CFS employs a novel combination of DES stream and codebook cipher modes to
provide high security with good performance on a modern workstation. CFS can
use any available file system for its underlying storage without modification,
including remote file servers such as NFS.
