Project News for Fast Secure File System

  • Fast Secure File System 0.1.1 released

    Release 0.1.1 of the Fast Secure File System is
    now available. This release fixes two bugs present
    in release 0.1.0, that affected the creation of
    sockets and the Python configuration utilities.
    See the Release Notes and ChangeLog for more
    details.

    FSFS (Fast Secure File System) is a
    cryptographically secure, user space, scalable,
    client-server file system that runs on top of an
    existing file system on the server (ext3, xfs...).
    It allows secure export of data to clients and
    remains scalable when many clients are using the
    system by separating cryptography from the server.

  • Fast Secure File System 0.0.2 i386 Debian packages released

    Debian packages for FSFS for i386 architectures have been released. We apologize for the wait. The new packages can be found on the SourceForge project page or in the new unofficial Debian repository where Debian packages for other architectures will also be found in the future (see below).

  • Fast Secure File System 0.0.2 released

    After a somewhat long break version 0.0.2 of the Fast Secure File System has been released. FSFS is a distributed, cryptographically secure user space file system that allows secure transfer and storage of file data on remote servers; it is written in C with FUSE and OpenSSL for Linux. Its key idea is to separate cryptography from the server for efficiency and scalability.

    The new release fixes a potential denial of service attack on the client by changing the login process slightly and adding more security checks; it is thus advised to upgrade both servers and clients. Configuration scripts have also been improved and other bug fixes and tweaks have been made throughout the source files and the Makefiles. Work is underway to port the server to other operating systems and to add new features.

  • FSFS - Fast Secure File System 0.0.1

    The first public release of FSFS is out.

    FSFS is a secure, distributed file system in user
    space for GNU/Linux x86 and PPC systems, built
    with FUSE and OpenSSL and released under the GPL.

    It exports existing directories over the network
    in a secure manner, letting clients mount them
    remotely to store encrypted data. FSFS aims to be
    scalable by leaving file data (and file names)
    cryptography to clients, thus freeing the servers
    of additional work.

    Encrypted data is sent in the clear, using
    authenticated messages; client requests, normally
    small messages, are sent through a TLS channel,
    thus encrypted and decrypted by both servers and
    clients.
