The +mountpoint will contain the decrypted files. Every file stored in +this mountpoint will be written encrypted (data and filename) to the +directory that was mounted. If you unmount the directory the encrypted +data can only be access by mounting the directory with the correct key +again. Like other FUSE/LUFS filesystems it does not need root access +or any complicated setup like creating a filesystem on a encrypted disk +using the loop device. + +This requires fuse (also available at SlackBuilds.org), although it can +alternatively use LUFS if you have that installed from elsewhere. |
