# status needs testing.  really could use the opinion on the crypto fromsomeone with more experience in this area.  haven't done performancetests.  # intro this is cryptfile, an encrypted block file served over styx.for more information, see the manual page, cryptfile(4).  # download see http://www.ueber.net/code/r/cryptfile for instructions.  # install change the "mkconfig" if you don't have $ROOT set.  now "mk" tocompile and "mk install" to install the files. when building from within inferno, insert SYSHOST=Inferno and ROOT=in the mk invocations to override the values in the mkconfig.  # licence & author this code is in the public domain, written by mechiel lukkien,reachable at mechiel@ueber.net.  # todo: - after a "forget" the user enters a password.  if it is wrong, the  styx read/write on the file fails.  this might upset file servers  such as kfs much.  perhaps it is better not to respond to the styx  request until the user enters a correct password.- add option to change the password (but keep the key of course).  involves making a new salt, deriving a new key, making a new iv and  making a new crypted data (with new random cookie, the same key and  the calculated sha1).
