This directory contains a proof of concept regarding encryption for Bacula . WARNING: These patches are ALPHA. We recommend against using them for production backups. Please use these patches only for testing. Our strategy: affect only bacula-fd; touch no other components. We want to encrypt and decrypt at the File Daemon, and nowhere else. Instead of complicating things with actual encryption, we are using a simple XOR step which will demonstrate that the data has been altered but is simple to implement and reverse. The goal is to provide a simple testing tool that will prove whether or not we are doing the right thing in all the right places. Once that is done, we can move on to the more complex task of encryption. Dan Langille
