Enhancement Request: Built-in EncFS support #211

Open dellipse opened 8 years ago

dellipse commented 8 years ago

One way to get around the performance issues we face when using both acd_cli and EncFS separately would be to integrate the functionality of one into the other. Since EncFS is open source and it is already FUSE based, wouldn't it be an interesting thing to add in this support instead of having the existing issues persist?

I believe having encryption as an option when using any cloud provider is very important. I don't need my provider looking at the contents of my storage to determine what they think I should buy from them next, among other reasons. In order to prevent this, a 'zero-knowledge' ability needs to exist. This feature would allow us to do that if done correctly.

Would you please start to look at what it would take to add this feature?

This would be a really nice addition!

I have no idea what this involves or where the slowdowns are, but I use encfs with acd_cli fuse and I would love faster performance :)

Could be very nice !

I also use encfs with acd_cli and it basically maxes out my 100mbit connection on Intel Atom CPU but it would be nice to have it implemented inside acd_cli to skip additional encfs configuration

Please consider closing as WONTFIX, since a recent security audit found encfs to be insecure, more at https://defuse.ca/audits/encfs.htm . I've read in various places that they are working on EncFS 2.0, but there was no mention of it on their Github repo that I could find.
