Blunk Announces File System Encryption

San Jose, California, Aug 1, 2014 - Blunk Microsystems announces encryption support for its TargetXFS™, TargetFAT™ and TargetZFS™ families of file systems.

Blunk’s file system encryption option features:

• Volume level encryption - the user enables encryption on a per volume basis. Selected volumes encrypt both user data and file system meta data seamlessly without additional user intervention.
• Easy to enable - the user specifies the encryption key and encryption algorithm during the volume’s driver initialization.
• Multiple algorithms - the user can select AES encryption in XTS or CTR mode, with either a faster 128 bit private key or a more secure 256 bit private key.
• Minimal overhead - encryption is performed as data is being written to the backing store and decryption is performed as data is being read from the backing store.
