Security Without Cost : A Cryptographic Log-structured File System / Säkerhet utan kostnad : Ett kryptografiskt log-strukturerat filsystem

Historically, cryptographic file systems have been several times slower than non-cryptographic file systems. This paper describes the design and implementation of a fast Cryptographic Log-structured File System on OpenBSD. We experimentally demonstrate that our pro-totype file system performs close to the Fast File System (FFS) and the Log-structured File System (LFS). To increase performance, our file system performs most encryption and decryption work during disk read and write operations. This is possible thanks to the SEAL encryption algorithm, a software optimized stream cipher that allows the en-cryption work to be performed prior to the actual data is available. We believe that our cryptographic file system design is ideal for optimal read and write performance on locally stored confidential data. / Denna uppsats beskriver utvecklingen av ett kryptografiskt log-strukturerat filsystem och vi visar genom experiment att dess prestanda är jämförbar med lokala filsystem. / Karl Knutsson Skiftesgatan 40 332 35 Gislaved Sweden
