Just the crypto primitives are from Illinois iirc, the actual scheme is fairly new.

  Didn't Oracle ZFS have encryption for some time now? (Was that after closing Solaris?)
  • lathiat 9y ago
    yeah it was done after closing this is an independent implementation for the open source side
  • X86BSD 9y ago
    Yes and they have a poor implementation for encryption at that. Pawel who did the port of zfs to FreeBSD did not like how they implemented it. As far as zfs goes oracle will be the odd man out compatibility wise with the rest of the platforms supporting zfs and the openzfs encryption scheme.

    Oracle ZFS does have encryption, but this implementation fixes a few security / usability issues with it, adds more features, and brings the implementation into the open source world.
