[PATCH 0/3] eCryptfs: Support metadata in xattr

From: Michael Halcrow
Date: Tue Jan 09 2007 - 17:21:27 EST


This patch set introduces the ability to store cryptographic metadata
into an lower file extended attribute rather than the lower file
header region.

This patch set implements two new mount options:

ecryptfs_xattr_metadata
- When set, newly created files will have their cryptographic
metadata stored in the extended attribute region of the file rather
than the header.

ecryptfs_encrypted_view
- When set, this option causes eCryptfs to present applications a
view of encrypted files as if the cryptographic metadata were
stored in the file header, whether the metadata is actually stored
in the header or in the extended attributes.
