+gocryptfs - An encrypted filesystem written in Go
+=================================================
+
+gocryptfs uses file-based encryption that is implemented as a mountable
+FUSE filesystem.
+Each file in gocryptfs is stored one corresponding encrypted files on the hard disk. The 
+screenshot below shows a mounted gocryptfs filesystem (left) and the
+encrypted files (right).
+
+The encrypted files can be stored in any folder on your hard disk, a USB
+stick or even inside the Dropbox folder. One advantage of file-based
+encryption as opposed to disk encryption is that encrypted files can
+be synchronised efficiently using standard tools like Dropbox or rsync.
+Also, the size of the encrypted filesystem is dynamic and only limited
+by the available disk space.
+
+![](img/folders-side-by-side.png)
+
+This project was inspired by EncFS and strives to fix its security
+issues while providing good performance.
+See the [Security](security) page for details on gocryptfs's cryptographic
+design.
+
+gocryptfs is a young project. While bugs in any software can cause issues,
+bugs in encryption software can cause catastrophic data loss. Keep a backup
+of your gocryptfs filesystem *and* store a copy of your master key (printed
+on mount) in a safe place.
+
+Only Linux is supported at the moment. Help is wanted for a Mac OS X port.
+Please contact me by filing an issue on the
+[github project](https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs).
