%  Proposal           Michael Austin Halcrow (linuxsymposium.org@halcrow.us)  

eCryptfs is a cryptographic filesystem for Linux that   
stacks on top of existing filesystems. It provides      
functionality similar to that of GnuPG, only the        
process of encrypting and decrypting the data is done   
transparently from the perspective of the application.  
eCryptfs leverages the recently introduced Linux kernel 
keyring service, the kernel cryptographic API, the      
Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) framework, 
OpenSSL, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), and the     
GnuPG keyring in order to make the process of key and   
authentication token management seamless to the end     
user.
