% Registration eCryptfs: An Enterprise-class Encrypted Filesystem for
% Linux
% 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.
