Does anybody have any ideas on what would be a good algorithm for
encrypting filenames? I would like for the alogorithm to do compression
also. CFS uses an algorithm that lengthens the filename, thereby shortening
the maximum allowed length of the clear text filename. I want to avoid
this and possibly store extra metadata in the filename.
Also does anybody know of an encrypted filesystem that encrypts the names
of files, besides CFS.
