### File Names
-* File names are encrypted using AES-256-CBC because it is robust even
- without using an IV
-* The file names are padded to multiples of 16 bytes
+* File names are encrypted using AES-256-CBC with a per-directory IV
+* Each directory get a random 128 bit IV on creation
+ * Files with the same name in different directories are encrypted to
+ different filenames and can not be identified
+* File names are padded to multiples of 16 bytes
* This means that the exact length of the name is hidden, only length
ranges (1-16 bytes, 17-32 bytes etc.) can be determined from the encrypted
files
-* For technical reasons, no IV is used
- * This means that files with the same name within one gocryptfs filesystem
- always get the same encrypted name
### Metadata
* The size of the file is not hidden. The exact file size can be calculated
from the size of the encrypted file.
-* File owner, file permissions and timestamps are not hidden either
+* File owner, file permissions and timestamps are not hidden.
