Description: Tool for managing Linux filesystem encryption
fscrypt is a high-level tool for the management of Linux filesystem
encryption. This tool manages metadata, key generation, key wrapping,
PAM integration, and provides a uniform interface for creating and
modifying encrypted directories.
.
To use fscrypt, you must have a filesystem with encryption enabled and
a kernel that supports reading/writing from that filesystem. Currently,
ext4, F2FS, and UBIFS support Linux filesystem encryption. Ext4 has
supported Linux filesystem encryption since v4.1, F2FS added support
in v4.2, and UBIFS added support in v4.10. Other filesystems may add
support for native encryption in the future.
