Current Projects
I am currently working on secnetfs with Avishay Traeger to provide end to end encryption and compression support in NVSv4 protocol. NFS version 4 is intended for use over the internet, and there are usage scenarios where clients store data on untrusted servers. In this project clients will encrypt data before it is sent to the server. This data will be stored in encrypted form, and will be decrypted by the client when the data is read. Compressing data before encryption aims to reduce some of the overhead associated with encryption.
