cppcryptfs
cppcryptfs is a C++ implementation of gocryptfs for creating encrypted overlay filesystems on Windows.
What is cppcryptfs?
cppcryptfs is an implementation of the gocryptfs encrypted overlay filesystem in C++ for Windows. It provides on-the-fly, at-rest, and in-the-cloud encryption of files and file names in a virtual filesystem, using the Dokany driver to create a user-mode virtual drive. It solves the problem of securing sensitive data locally and in cloud storage by encrypting files individually, allowing dynamic growth without pre-allocated container sizes.
Windows users who need to encrypt files for local security or cloud synchronization, such as individuals backing up sensitive data to services like Dropbox or developers requiring encrypted workspaces on Windows systems.
Developers choose cppcryptfs for its compatibility with gocryptfs, enabling cross-platform use with Linux systems, and its per-file encryption approach that allows efficient cloud syncing and dynamic storage without container limits. Its use of the Dokany driver ensures user-mode operation without kernel-mode drivers, enhancing stability and ease of use on Windows.
