EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem based on FUSE and OpenSSL.

EncFS works on a per-file basis, not with entire block devices.
An EncFS filesystem can grow to any size without being reformatted
and can be backed-up on a file-by-file basis.

EncFS does NOT encrypt or otherwise hide the following information:
- The number of files you have encrypted
- The permissions on the files (readable, writable, executable)
- The size of each file
- The approximate size of each filename (to within 16 bytes using AES,
or 8 bytes using Blowfish)
