Cryptomfs is a MacFUSE implementation of cryptofs by Christoph Hohmann.
Cryptomfs will use a directory to store encrypted files. The mountpoint will provide access to the unencrypted data, but no data is ever written to the harddisk without encryption.
Requirements
- Requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
- Must have MacFUSE (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse) installed.
Features
- Filesystems are packages so they behave like disk images in Finder (e.g., Double clicking on the .cryptofs package will mount the filesystem.)
- Passwords are entered using a dialog.
- Keychain support.
- Custom volume names for mounted filesystems.
- Custom icon support for mounted filesystems.
- Easy creation of new filesystems.
- Filesystem configuration is saved in a plist file.
- Filesystems can be mounted using cryptofs and fuse in other operating systems. Good for sharing encrypted data on a dual boot system.
