ecryptfs
How to set up eCryptFS in Linux will be introduced in this post. We can store encrypted files in one eCryptFS directory, the manual way. The content can be seen only after it is mounted as eCryptFS file system. Otherwise, the users can only see garbled characters in the files.
本文将介绍如何在Linux中设置eCryptFS。 我们可以将加密文件手动存储在一个eCryptFS目录中。 仅当将内容安装为eCryptFS文件系统后,才能看到该内容。 否则,用户只能在文件中看到乱码。
Note that this tutorial will cover the “manual way” which you may find a little bit different from other tutorials which uses the ecryptfs-setup-private
, ecryptfs-mount-private
and ecrypt-umount-private
tools. The benefit of this method is that you will only need to keep the passphrase only. No ~/.ecryptfs
directory is required. And after a directory is mounted, it will not be automatically unmounted after the user session is closed.
请注意,本教程将介绍“手动方式”,您可能会发现它与使用ecryptfs-setup-private
, ecryptfs-mount-private
和ecrypt-umount-private
工具的其他教程有些不同。 这种方法的好处是您只需要保留密码短语。 不需要~/.ecryptfs
目录。 挂载目录后,在关闭用户会话后将不会自动卸载该目录。
Here, we use Fedora 22 as the example platform.
在这里,我们使用Fedora 22作为示例平台。
First, install utils for ecryptfs:
首先,为cryptfs安装utils:
# dnf install ecryptfs-utils
Load the ecryptfs kernel module:
加载ecryptfs内核模块:
# modprobe ecryptfs
If we store encrypted file in /home/zma/.private
directory and mount it to /home/zma/private/
:
如果我们将加密文件存储在/home/zma/.private
目录中,然后将其安装到/home/zma/private/
:
# mount -t ecryptfs /home/zma/.private /home/zma/private
For the first time you mount the ecryptfs directory, it will ask you to set up the encryption as follows.
首次安装ecryptfs目录时,它将要求您按以下步骤设置加密。
Select key type to use for newly created files:
1) tspi
2) passphrase
3) pkcs11-helper
Selection: 2
Passphrase:
Select cipher:
1) aes: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32
2) blowfish: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 56
3) des3_ede: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 24; max keysize = 24
4) twofish: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32
5) cast6: blocksize = 16; min keysize = 16; max keysize = 32
6) cast5: blocksize = 8; min keysize = 5; max keysize = 16
Selection [aes]: 1
Select key bytes:
1) 16
2) 32
3) 24
Selection [16]: 2
Enable plaintext passthrough (y/n) [n]: n
Enable filename encryption (y/n) [n]: y
Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) Signature [a-signature-here]:
Attempting to mount with the following options:
ecryptfs_unlink_sigs
ecryptfs_fnek_sig=a-signature-here
ecryptfs_key_bytes=32
ecryptfs_cipher=aes
ecryptfs_sig=a-signature-here
WARNING: Based on the contents of [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt],
it looks like you have never mounted with this key
before. This could mean that you have typed your
passphrase wrong.
Would you like to proceed with the mount (yes/no)? : yes
Would you like to append sig [a-signature-here] to
[/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt]
in order to avoid this warning in the future (yes/no)? : yes
Successfully appended new sig to user sig cache file
Mounted eCryptfs
For the later mounting, it will ask you the info again. You must provide the same choices here to mount the directory correctly. Otherwise, you will see “garbage” content.
对于以后的安装,它将再次询问您信息。 您必须在此处提供相同的选择才能正确安装目录。 否则,您将看到“垃圾”内容。
To make this easier by not choosing so many options, you may store a command as an alias or a script as follows:
要通过不选择太多选项来简化此操作,可以将命令存储为别名或脚本,如下所示:
mount -t ecryptfs /home/zma/.private /home/zma/private \
-o key=passphrase,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,ecryptfs_passthrough=n,ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=y
The mount process will be like:
挂载过程将类似于:
# mount -t ecryptfs /home/zma/.private /home/zma/private -o key=passphrase,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=32,ecryptfs_passthrough=n,ecryptfs_enable_filename_crypto=y
Passphrase: ENTER YOUR PASSPHRASE HERE
Filename Encryption Key (FNEK) Signature [a-signature-here]:
Attempting to mount with the following options:
ecryptfs_unlink_sigs
ecryptfs_fnek_sig=a-signature-here
ecryptfs_key_bytes=32
ecryptfs_cipher=aes
ecryptfs_sig=a-signature-here
Mounted eCryptfs
If you do not want to see the FNEK message anymore, you can add the option ecryptfs_fnek_sig=THE_SIGNATURE_ABOVE
with the signature printed to the mount
command.
如果您不想再看到FNEK消息,则可以添加选项ecryptfs_fnek_sig=THE_SIGNATURE_ABOVE
,并将签名打印到mount
命令中。
After it is mounted, you can check it:
挂载后,您可以检查它:
# df -hT
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
...
/home/zma/.private ecryptfs 473G 4.7G 449G 2% /home/zma/private
Then you can read/write from/to files under /home/zma/.private
as a normal directory.
然后,您可以将/home/zma/.private
下的文件读/写为普通目录。
# umount /home/zma/private
Try to less
a file under /home/zma/.private
. You will only see encrypted binary files.
尝试less
/home/zma/.private
下的文件。 您只会看到加密的二进制文件。
When you want to read your files, mount this directory again and your files will be back :)
当您想读取文件时,再次挂载该目录,您的文件将返回:)
