# Information for Encfs on openSUSE ## Encfs is deprecated Encfs is no longer maintained upstream.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). See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1243036 ## 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 ```` See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221085
