# 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Encfs is no longer maintained upstream.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
````
