The fscrypt facility was added to the Linux kernel in 2015 which added the ability for unprivileged users to store files on certain local filesystems in an encrypted fashion using their own keys. The CephFS team has been engaged in a multi-year project to extend this support to the kernel CephFS client, allowing users to transparently work with encrypted files on CephFS. This talk will cover an overview of the effort to add this support and information on how to use this feature.
Jeff Layton is a longtime Linux kernel and Ceph developer who specializes in network filesystems. He maintains the Linux kernel CephFS client and is a contributor to many other open source projects.
