CFS v TCFS v SFS v ?

Mon Feb 17 07:51:46 PST 2003

I'm evaluating filesystems which provide encryption under
FreeBSD.

The following acronyms means the following things:

CFS: Cryptographic File System
TCFS: Translucent CFS
SFS: Secure File System

So far I have installed and configured CFS; I'm still meditating
upon exactly how to best integrate its service into an operating
system.

I have not yet begun evaluating TCFS or SFS. I'm not sure the SFS
server is still up (www.securefs.org, according to my mile-high
research).

Does anyone know of any specific pitfalls (or advantages) to any
of these packages?

Have I missed any other encrypting filesystems?

Thanks,
