eCryptfs

lower crypted files always different

Asked by Bourdiaux Frédéric

Hello,

Is there a way to have always the same lower (encrypted) file each time I encrypt the same file?

Want I need, is to be sure that for a file, each time I encrypt it I will have the same encrypted file in the lower directory.

Thanks

No. By design, eCryptfs creates a new, random file encryption key for each new inode.

Can you help with this problem?
