Playing with ZFS encryption on Linux

Solaris is completely separate, but I believe the encryption comes from Illumos just needs a ton of changing to work on Linux.

Just the crypto primitives are from Illinois iirc, the actual scheme is fairly new.

Didn't Oracle ZFS have encryption for some time now? (Was that after closing Solaris?)

Yes and they have a poor implementation for encryption at that. Pawel who did the port of zfs to FreeBSD did not like how they implemented it. As far as zfs goes oracle will be the odd man out compatibility wise with the rest of the platforms supporting zfs and the openzfs encryption scheme.

Oracle ZFS does have encryption, but this implementation fixes a few security / usability issues with it, adds more features, and brings the implementation into the open source world.

yeah it was done after closing

this is an independent implementation for the open source side
