This book covers the topics that can provide the overall understanding of transparent encryption for stored image files, using File System in User Space (FUSE) technology. Securing sensitive images on disk drives is fast becoming a major security concern. Manual encryption systems impose a heavy burden on data owners by managing cumbersome and time-consuming encryption processes. Moreover, as the number of image files being stored and accessed increases over time, the use of traditional encryption applications greatly influences system performance and data access response time. Transparent encryption is the core of the current and future development of storage security. It provides a secure and dynamic way to access, manage, and monitor all encryption and key management operations, without changing users' routine use. The development of the user-space encrypted file system has managed to overcome the issues related to application programs and other existing cryptographic file system implementations.
