      Category: fuse

      Description: An encrypted pass-through FUSE filesystem

      Long Description: EncFS is an encrypted pass-through filesystem which runs in userspace, using the FUSE kernel module. Similar in design to CFS and other pass-through filesystems, all data is encrypted and stored in the underlying filesystem. Unlike loopback filesystems, there is no predetermined or pre-allocated filesystem size.
