I-EncFS yinkqubo yefayile ye-cryptographic yasimahla (LGPL) FUSE esekwe. Iguqulela ngokufihlakeleyo iifayile, isebenzisa ulawulo olungenasizathu njengokugcinwa kweefayile ezifihliweyo. Abalawuli ababini babandakanyeka ekunyuseni inkqubo yefayile ye-EncFS: uvimba weefayili wemvelaphi, kunye nendawo yokunyuka. Ifayile nganye kwindawo yentaba inefayile ethile kuvimba weefayili ohambelana nayo. Ifayile kwindawo yentaba ibonelela ngemboniselo engafihlwanga yaleyo ikuvimba wemvelaphi. Amagama eefayile aguqulelwe ngokuntsonkothileyo kuvimba weefayili. Iifayile ziguqulelwe ngokuntsonkothileyo kusetyenziswa isitshixo sevolyum, esigcinwa ngaphakathi okanye ngaphandle kovimba wemithombo entsonkothileyo. Igama lokugqithisa lisetyenziselwa ukuguqulela eli qhosha.
