Intro:  I am new to the list.  I am an engineer who has to investigate
moving our file archive to live in encrypted form on the disk.  Our
product is a bunch of software that we ship on a custom Solaris box
running OS version 2.8.

I got CFS working locally - it is pretty nice.  I also was going to
investigate Cryptfs
(http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~ezk/research/cryptfs/index.html) for 2
improvements (speed and the concept of the 'session id').  I was
interested in any stories, anecdotes, etc. of experiences with these 2
different systems.  Since we control the system, I am not put off by
the fact that cryptfs is a kernel module.

I get the impression that CFS might be in more general use and that
Cryptfs might be more of a PhD project that isn't in 'real use' as
much.  I could be totally wrong about this.  I was wondering what
others' think.

Thanks!
