This enables eCryptfs to detect unauthorized (cipher) data modification and unexpected data corruption. And the preliminary experiments demonstrate the decrease in throughput is modest. As a file system highlighting security, we think it should be useful. Any comments/suggestions are welcome. Cheers, Li Wang
