Encrypted File System
Easy to use
Because EFS is implemented as a separate layer any existing generic file handling library can be used. Adding EFS on top of elm-chan FatFS or a Linux file module is a matter of minutes. Your file handling needs to have only the most common methods enabled. EFS is ideally suited to add encryption capabilities to your FAT formatted SD card.
Safe and Flexible
Based on the proven Linux secure file system white paper to ensure a solid design base. Every file is protected with a unique session key and can only be decrypted by the host who created it. For those files where performance is more a concern than security you can still read and write plain files. Adding more encryption algoritms is easily done as full source code is supplied.
Lightweight
Written specifically to be used in conjunction with embedded file systems our EFS uses very little RAM and ROM. No need for dynamic memory allocation. Random access without the need to keep the whole file in memory. Not even temporarily.
