Profile
Author of gocryptfs and co-maintainer of EncFS here.gocryptfs is a FUSE overlay filesystem for Linux like EncFS. But it is written from scratch in Go, uses modern crypto and fixes the security issues of EncFS while providing equivalent speed.Some of the key differences to EncFS are:* Just one security level roughly equivalent to EncFS "paranoia" mode, at the speed of "default" mode.* A design so simple it fits on one page ( this one: https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/security/ )* Explicit filesystem creation using "gocryptfs -init". No configuration prompts.* Long file names up to 256 bytes (with zero performance impact <= 176 bytes)* Stress-tested using fuse-xfstests* No reverse mode (yet?).
gocryptfs, an aspiring successor to EncFS, now in v1.0 is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.
The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
