EncFS Creation

$ encfs <encrypted-dir> <decrypted-dir>
Creating new encrypted volume.
Please choose from one of the following options:
 enter "x" for expert configuration mode,
 enter "p" for pre-configured paranoia mode,
 anything else, or an empty line will select standard mode.
?> x

Manual configuration mode selected.
The following cipher algorithms are available:
1. AES : 16 byte block cipher
 -- Supports key lengths of 128 to 256 bits
 -- Supports block sizes of 64 to 4096 bytes
2. Blowfish : 8 byte block cipher
 -- Supports key lengths of 128 to 256 bits
 -- Supports block sizes of 64 to 4096 bytes
3. blowfish-compat : algorithm compatible with EncFS 0.2-0.6
 -- key length 160 bits
 -- block size 64 bytes

Enter the number corresponding to your choice: 1

Selected algorithm "AES"

Please select a key size in bits.  The cipher you have chosen
supports sizes from 128 to 256 bits in increments of 64 bits.
For example: 
128, 192, 256
Selected key size: 256

Using key size of 256 bits

Select a block size in bytes.  The cipher you have chosen
supports sizes from 64 to 4096 bytes in increments of 16.
Or just hit enter for the default (512 bytes)

filesystem block size: 512

Using filesystem block size of 512 bytes

The following filename encoding algorithms are available:
1. Block : Block encoding, hides file name size somewhat
2. Null : No encryption of filenames
3. Stream : Stream encoding, keeps filenames as short as possible

Enter the number corresponding to your choice: 1

Selected algorithm "Block""

Enable filename initialization vector chaining?
This makes filename encoding dependent on the complete path, 
rather then encoding each path element individually. 
This is normally desireable, therefor the default is Yes. 
Any response that does not begin with 'n' will mean Yes: no

Enable per-file initialization vectors?
This adds about 8 bytes per file to the storage requirements.
It should not affect performance except possibly with applications
which rely on block-aligned file io for performance.
The default here is Yes.  
Any response that does not begin with 'n' will mean Yes: yes

External chained IV disabled, as both 'IV chaining'
and 'unique IV' features are required for this option.
Enable block authentication code headers
on every block in a file?  This adds about 12 bytes per block
to the storage requirements for a file, and significantly affects
performance but it also means [almost] any modifications or errors
within a block will be caught and will cause a read error.
The default here is No.  
Any response that does not begin with 'y' will mean No: no


Configuration finished.  The filesystem to be created has
the following properties:
Filesystem cipher: "ssl/aes", version 2:1:1
Filename encoding: "nameio/block", version 3:0:1
Key Size: 256 bits
Block Size: 512 bytes
Each file contains 8 byte header with unique IV data.

Now you will need to enter a password for your filesystem.
You will need to remember this password, as there is absolutely
no recovery mechanism.  However, the password can be changed
later using encfsctl.
