security/encfs 1.9.5p6 OpenBSD

EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem based on FUSE and OpenSSL.

EncFS works on a per-file basis, not with entire block devices. An EncFS filesystem can grow to any size without being reformatted and can be backed-up on a file-by-file basis.

EncFS does NOT encrypt or otherwise hide the following information:

• The number of files you have encrypted
• The permissions on the files (readable, writable, executable)
• The size of each file
• The approximate size of each filename (to within 16 bytes using AES, or 8 bytes using Blowfish)
