Abstract

Data security has become an increasinglyimportant factor in routine work with thedevelopment of applications, and users trend toobtain high security with maximum comfort. In thisarticle a cryptographic file system calledNAS_CFS used for NAS is designed. NAS_CFS hassome characteristics as below: adding encryptionfunction to file-system layer allows users to encryptdata transparently, obtaining high security by keymanagement based on session ID and user ID,attachment and timeouts mechanisms, andNAS_CFS is an in-kernel file system of highperformance using stackable mechanism.
