Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 13:17:22 -0500 From: Michael Halcrow <mhalcrow@...ibm.com> To: akpm@...l.org Cc: mhalcrow@...ibm.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/4] eCryptfs: Public key support This first two patches in this patch set introduce public key support into the eCryptfs kernel module shipping in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2. The last two patches clean up the flag manipulation code and resolve a compiler warning. The userspace code that supports the public key mode of operation is available in the file labeled ``ecryptfs-util-2.6.18-rc4-mm2++.tar.bz2'': http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133988&package_id=149785 Notice that the version numbers are incremented; the userspace tools must be upgraded when running with this patch set. Follow the file migration instructions in the NOTES section of Documentation/ecryptfs.txt. On open of an existing encrypted file, eCryptfs reads the public key packet from the file header and sends a decrypt request packet via netlink to the user's daemon. If the file is being created, eCryptfs sends an encrypt request. The daemon processes the request through the pluggable PKI module associated with the public key involved in the request. For those who wish to try out eCryptfs on older kernels, we are also keeping backports of eCryptfs in packages under the ``ecryptfs-full'' release section: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133988&package_id=198555 Mike - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
