Description

Provides utilities for eCryptfs, a stacked encrypted filesystem for protecting files and home directories. It can encrypt data at the filesystem layer while presenting decrypted files after authentication.

Use it only with a clear recovery plan. Lost passphrases or key material can make data unrecoverable, and older encryption setups should be reviewed against current security needs.
