Abstract
In this paper we describe the design and the implementation
of the Transparent Cryptographic File System (TCFS).
TCFS is a cryptographic distributed filesystem (à la NFS).
It lets users access
sensitive files stored on a remote server in a secure way.
It combats eavesdropping and data tampering both
at the server and over the network by using
encryption and message digest.
Applications access data on a TCFS filesystem using
the regular systems calls thus yielding complete
transaparency to the users.
