Fleeting

ecryptfs

ECryptfs is a stacked filesystem which transparently encrypts and decrypts each file using a randomly generated File Encryption Key (FEK)

https://docs.kernel.org/security/keys/ecryptfs.html

Each FEK is in turn encrypted with a File Encryption Key Encryption Key (FEKEK) either in kernel space or in user space with a daemon called ’ecryptfsd'.
