Encrypt Your Data With EncFS (Ubuntu 12.10)
EncFS
provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any
special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel module to
provide the filesystem interface. It is a pass-through filesystem, not
an encrypted block device, which means it is created on top of an
existing filesystem.

As with most encrypted filesystems, Encfs is meant to provide security against off-line attacks; ie your notebook or backups fall into the wrong hands, etc.
I would like to use Encfs to encrypt a copy of / for a backup. Whenever I do this through other tools, they have an option to not cross filesystems.
Is there an equivalent option in Encfs? Or would such attributes pass through to the encrypted version, and I should just run my backup tool with the one filesystem option?
How To Encrypt Directories/Partitions With eCryptfs On Debian Squeeze
eCryptfs
is a POSIX-compliant enterprise-class stacked cryptographic filesystem
for Linux. You can use it to encrypt partitions and also directories
that don't use a partition of their own, no matter the underlying
filesystem, partition type, etc.
Yesterday I’ve done an introduction to EncFS, a Free (GPL) FUSE-based cryptographic filesystem that transparently encrypts files, using an arbitrary directory as storage for the encrypted files. i’ve show how install and use it from the command line, but there is also an easier way to integrate it with your Desktop: Cryptkeeper.
I want to encrypt my filesystem with encfs, but I don't know how long my password should be.
I'm gonna be using AES 256, with blocks of 4096 bits.
How many guesses per second can I expect an attacker can make on files encrypted with that?
I'm worried that this might depend on the size of the smallest encrypted file.
Any thoughts?
In one of those polishing-up activities, after you've gotten all your major stuff working on your new installation, you might want to establish some encrypted file space, to store all your personal and financial data. You could encrypt the whole system, but I like to just encrypt a folder or a small partition. Back in Windows, I used PGP, so my question was, what do I do now?
