Blunk File Systems Encryption

Blunk Microsystems provides optional encryption capabilities for its TargetXFS, TargetFAT and TargetZFS file systems.

Benefits

• 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 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.
