Non ho l'autorità e l'autorevolezza necessaria per educare :-)

Quoto un pò di persone:

"""
ecryptfs is a complete joke.  It intentionally does not encrypt *ANY*
metadata execpt the filename, leaking modification times, filesizes
(rounded to the block), write patterns, file ownership, permissions,
etc.  Because it's design is such a joke, it hasn't gotten any serious
crypto review, so I'd be surprised if it doesn't have critical
implementation bugs in the parts that aren't broken by design.
 
Please don't use ecryptfs.  It's not even better than nothing.

"""
eCryptfs appears to have a better crypto design than EncFS [4], but
there are some red flags indicating that it was not designed by
a cryptographer, and has not received enough security review

L'ultima release è del 2012 (a quanto leggo sulla pagina g+), l'ultimo
commit nel repo git è di 6 mesi fa per la 3.13.x (mi sembra di capire
che gli ultimi 6 o 7 siano solo commit di "porting" alle nuove versioni,
dato che non è incluso nel kernel di default - chissà perchè - ).
