Encryption in btrfs

[Jay Sullivan]

Hi,

In the past, I've heard rumors that there are plans to support
[transparent] encryption in btrfs. =C2=A0If you guys were able to get
compression to work already, I don't see what's stopping you from
implementing encryption. =C2=A0I'd like to strongly recommend that you =
look
into using=C2=A0the "NaCl: Networking and Cryptography library" (see
http://nacl.cace-project.eu/ =C2=A0) by Daniel J. Bernstein. It is
extremely lightweight, fast, secure, and has an extremely simple API.
I'd really like to see btrfs take advantage of such a great
cryptographic library. I'm interested in hearing all of your thoughts
on this, as I think it could work out quite nicely.

Thanks!

Whenever somebody manages to get around to encryption it will likely us=
e the
built in crypto library already in the kernel so we don't go around dup=
licating
code. Thanks,
