File System Library
-
Hello, Platform: DotNet with C#. I was wondering if there is an open source library that my application can link with, which would allow me to have my own encrypted file system and which would appear as a single file within the host file system? (Any license will do, including GPL.) My application needs to save a large number of files that should not be "peekable" by any of the IT admins. I checked up on Fuse, however, I am looking specifically for a DotNet option. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, N

Your program would contain the code to access the files, and they could just decompile it. They're IT admins, not script kiddies, they will find the way to decrypt the files, you can only delay them
Yeah, sure, thanks for the information. :) However there may be multiple deployment scenarios that I do not want to get into here, as also obfuscation. Suffice it to say that I'm just looking for a basic file system that I can link to. Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. N

You could always use an encrypted *.zip. There are plenty of 'zip' libraries for .NET, just google.

You could always create a database filesystem.

Store them in a directory called "Things I need the SysAdmins to work on". Or use a database.

Sorry about the delay in replying... a very long weekend here in India. BTW, found something [here]. Seems to be worth looking into.

Callback File System with source. Although not free, it's a feature-rich, maintained and updated SDK that lets you create virtual file systems in Windows. .NET API is available.

Thanks for this! Looking into it.
