Project Summary
A version of convergent encryption with an additional obfuscation step. This pattern allows secured data that can also be de-duplicated. This library presents an API that can be utilised in any application that provides a POSIX like filesystem interface, dealing very effectively with the content part of any data (in tests the parallelised approach can actually be faster than reading/writing data as a single stream). It is important to realise two important aspects of this library:
1. This library deals with file content only
2. This library provides very secure data, but does return a data structure (DataMap) that in turn requires to be secured.
