Abstract

Complications to encrypt files and check the vulnerabilities every time had been a crucial and lasting so far. So what is the trustable and feasible approach for the purpose of manifesting objectives? Developing file system with cryptographic features can promote liabilities. The Cryptographic File System (CFS) provides a secure and reliable storage by using UNIX file system for encrypting files. Utilizing a key for encrypting and decrypting directories and files (also their pathnames) is usual in any cryptography issue and in this 
paper we also mention about it. System administration process 
like backup, establish in a suitable way without knowing about 
the key. Ability to respond any accessible file system without 
any modification in order to cover remote servers like NFS is 
another advantage of CFS. This paper explains the CFS under 
UNIX briefly which is also applicable in UNIX like system such 
as Linux.
