FileVaultstyle
FileVaultstyle is a term used to describe a file-based encryption approach designed to provide transparent, per-file data protection through integrated key management and access controls. While inspired by the principles of full-disk encryption tools such as FileVault, FileVaultstyle focuses on securing individual files or data blocks, enabling selective encryption, policy-driven access, and flexible recovery in mixed storage environments.
At the core, each file is encrypted with a unique Data Encryption Key (DEK). The DEK is
Common implementations offer authenticated encryption with algorithms such as AES-256-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305, ensuring confidentiality and integrity.
Key management is central to security. Recovery mechanisms, key archival, and tamper-evident logs help mitigate loss
FileVaultstyle is applicable to enterprise file repositories, cloud storage clients, and cross-platform applications that require granular
