svfs encryption: what happened exactly? #158

Open pierrecdn opened 6 years ago

pierrecdn commented 6 years ago

I'm studying the option of using Cloud Archive and this FS but the 1rst requirement to me is that I can be sure data are well encrypted, client-side, ideally in a transparent way and using up-to-date encryption standards.

@xlucas what happened with a5ad09bbf72202cae8688be5aff25e8bbbb443ad that has been reverted in adfddef650d3d6cd3f41e2b6dbdaf46878b2e4cb without any comment ? BTW, AES key sizes of 16/24/32bits, seriously?

I'd be happy to know more about that, especially if there are future plans on your side to reintroduce that. Also if you have any alternatives to suggest, feel free (reading about rsync + encfs at that time).

The commit was referring to bytes not bits (16 bytes=128 bits) which seems perfectly fine. Why was the commit reverted is another question.
