eCryptfs (enterprise cryptographic filesystem) is a package of disk encryption software for Linux. Its implementation is a POSIX-compliant[1] filesystem-level encryption layer, aiming to offer functionality similar to that of GnuPG at the operating system level,[2] and has been part of the Linux kernel since version 2.6.19.
