cryfs can be really slow. The command runs in the background, so `time` doesn't really measure anything except how much time it takes for cryfs to load the encryption key for later access. I'd switch to gocryptfs or even encfs (if you are not syncing the encrypted directory to a remote server).

Why is it set as default encryption method in Plasma vault widget ? Shouldn't it be removed if it's slow ? The current plan is to replace it as the default and revert the patch that hides the backend selection combo box. Back when it was made the default, we didn't know of its downsides - nothing similar happened during my tests.

It seems gocryptfs outperforms cryFS, the access, adding and removing are really fast even with big folders, it should be made the default, because EncFS has serious not fixed vulnerabilities. Yes, gocryptfs is the main contender for the next default. Encfs has issues which make it unsuitable for cloud syncing*. But is generally good enough for local use. *) With a note that there are some enterprise end-to-end encryption solutions which are worse than encfs. |
