moov-io/cryptfs

Moov's mission is to give developers an easy way to create and integrate bank processing into their own software products. Our open source projects are each focused on solving a single responsibility in financial services and designed around performance, scalability, and ease of use.

cryptfs implements Go's io/fs.FS interface for interacting with the local filesystem to transparently encrypt/decrypt files. This is useful as a library because it offers applications a well tested routine for keeping data protected.

Project Status

cryptfs is included in multiple open-source projects Moov offers and is used in production environments. Please star the project if you are interested in its progress. If you find any bugs or desire additional encryption/encoding algorithms we would appreciate an issue or pull request. Thanks!

Usage

Cryptfs supports AES and GPG for encryption and Base64 (Standard Raw) encoding. Currently cryptfs is usable as a Go library in your applications. This needs to be initialized prior to reading or writing any files.

AES Cryptor

key := []byte("1234567812345678")) // insecure key

fsys, err := cryptfs.FromCryptor(cryptfs.NewAESCryptor(key))
if err != nil {
    // do something
}

fsys.SetCoder(cryptfs.Base64()) // optional, default is the raw bytes

GPG Cryptor

fsys, err := cryptfs.FromCryptor(cryptfs.NewGPGCryptorFile(publicKeyPath, privateKeyPath, password))
if err != nil {
    // do something
}

fsys.SetCoder(cryptfs.Base64()) // optional, default is the raw bytes

Once initialized you can perform open/read and write operations.

Open

file, err := fsys.Open(path)
if err != nil {
    // do something
}

ReadFile

plaintext, err := fsys.ReadFile(path)
if err != nil {
    // do something
}

WriteFile

err := fsys.WriteFile(path, data, 0600)
if err != nil {
    // do something
}

Command Line

Moov offers a command line tool for using this library as well. It's handy for operational debugging and testing.
