org.cryptomator.cryptofs.CryptoFileSystem

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable

public abstract class CryptoFileSystem
extends FileSystem

A FileSystem which allows access to encrypted data in a directory.

A CryptoFileSystem encrypts/decrypts data read/stored from/to it and uses a storage location for the encrypted data. The storage location is denoted by a Path and can thus be any location itself accessible via a java.nio.FileSystem.

A CryptoFileSystem can be used as any other java.nio.FileSystem, e.g. by using the operations from Files.
