It runs without encfs: any special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel encfs: module to provide the filesystem interface. encfs: As with most encrypted filesystems, Encfs is meant to provide security encfs: against off-line attacks; ie your notebook or backups fall into the encfs: wrong hands, etc. The way Encfs works is different from the "loopback" encfs: encrypted filesystem support built into the Linux kernel because it encfs: works on files at a time, not an entire block device. This is a big encfs: advantage in some ways, but does not come without a cost.
