# Information for Encfs on openSUSE
|
|
|
|
## Encfs is deprecated
|
|
|
|
Encfs is no longer maintained upstream. A number of inherrent security issues
|
|
may remain unresolved forever. The package is on a deprecation path in
|
|
openSUSE. Users are advised to move to alternatives, such as LUKS, crypfs,
|
|
gocryptfs, or file based encryption (GnuPG).
|

## encfs on Leap 15.6 or later may fail to decrypt old directories
|
|
|
|
encfs, when built against OpenSSL 3, may fail to decrypt data created with
|
|
versions built against OpenSSL 1. This applies when when transitioing from
|
|
openSUSE Leap 15.5 to 15.6, or to openSUSE Tumbleweed. As a workaround, the
|
|
following configuration may be added to /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf :
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
[provider_sect]
|
|
legacy = legacy_sect
|
|
|
|
[legacy_sect]
|
|
activate = 1
|
|
````
