I wo= rk for a team at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory,= and we would be interested in a QEMU encryption feature, such as describ= ed in the to-do list [1]. However, it seems the method described relies o= n block filters, also on the to-do list. Does development work on block f= ilters live in a public branch somewhere? If so, I'd greatly appreciate i= t if someone could point me to it so that I could take a look. Does anyon= e know of an estimated date for when the block filters might be in state = so that one could write an encryption filter? Additionally, does anyone h= ave an estimate for time and amount of effort if might take to implement = such an encryption filter? If someone could assist me in planning out wha= t steps need to be taken to support encryption, I would appreciate it. >=20 > Thanks, >=20 > Kaitlin Farr >=20 > Software engineer >=20 > JHU/APL >=20 >=20 > 1. http://qemu-project.org/Features/Block/Todo#New_design_for_better_en= cryption_support_.5Barmbru.5D >=20
