Encryption in btrfs.

Encryption in btrfs.

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

Does it possible by design to implement encryption in btrfs?
Does it require format change?
Does anybody have any plans about it?

Whenever somebody manages to get around to encryption it will likely us=
e the
built in crypto library already in the kernel so we don't go around dup=
licating
code.  Thanks,

Hi,

    In the past, I've heard rumors that there are plans to support
[transparent] encryption in btrfs. =C2=A0If you guys were able to get
compression to work already, I don't see what's stopping you from
implementing encryption. =C2=A0I'd like to strongly recommend that you =
look
into using=C2=A0the "NaCl: Networking and Cryptography library" (see
http://nacl.cace-project.eu/ =C2=A0) by Daniel J. Bernstein.  It is
extremely lightweight, fast, secure, and has an extremely simple API.
 I'd really like to see btrfs take advantage of such a great
cryptographic library.  I'm interested in hearing all of your thoughts
on this, as I think it could work out quite nicely.

Thanks!
