In plain words
Asymmetricfs is a userspace filesystem that encrypts data using asymmetric encryption. It allows users to store files securely with asymmetric key cryptography rather than traditional symmetric methods. The project is designed for developers and security-conscious users who need encrypted file storage and is hosted as open-source software on GitHub, originally released in 2014.

Author of gocryptfs and co-maintainer of EncFS here. gocryptfs is a FUSE overlay filesystem for Linux like EncFS. But it is written from scratch in Go, uses modern crypto and fixes the security issues of EncFS while providing equivalent speed. Some of the key differences to EncFS are: * Just one security level roughly equivalent to EncFS "paranoia" mode, at the speed of "default" mode. * A design so simple it fits on one page ( this one: https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/security/ ) * Explicit filesystem creation using "gocryptfs -init". No configuration prompts. *…
