MetFS
MetFS is a filesystem software in userspace that is FUSE based, encrypted, dynamic sized (increase when new data added, decrease when data removed), single file when it's unmounted and very fast.
No data stored on an encrypted partition can be read without using the correct password. Until decrypted, a MetFS partition appears to be nothing more than a series of meaningless data.
The .MFS file extension is associated with the MetFS program but it is not required; these files can have any file extension or no file extension. The program does not care.
MetFS 's been written in C language for performance reasons; proved to be running on Linux and FreeBSD.
Features:
- MetFS partitions are visible only to the user who mounted them. No other users (including root) can view the filesystem contents.
- MetFS partition looks like a single file when it's unmounted.
- Clear version of the user password is never written to disk.
- RC4 stream cipher algorithm is used.
- MD5 hash algorithm is preferred.
- Clear data never stored in anywhere.
- Writing 1.6 GB sized data in ext3 filesystem is just 16 seconds faster than MetFS.
- Faster and more secure string functions of OpenBSD and D.J.B are used.
- .mfs is official file extension of MetFS.
