              The Transparent Cryptographic File System (TCFS)

This talk will describe the design and the implementation of TCFS: a
cryptographic distributed filesystem (à la NFS). It lets users access
sensitive files stored on a remote server in a secure way. It combats
eavesdropping and data tampering both at the server and over the network
by using encryption and message digest. Applications access data on a TCFS
filesystem using the regular system calls thus yelding complete
transparency to the users. TCFS has been implemented on the LINUX and
{Open,Net}BSD Systems.
