IOCipher: Encrypted Virtual Disk
--------------------------------

IOCipher is a virtual encrypted disk for apps without requiring the device to
be rooted. It uses a clone of the standard java.io API for working with
files. Just password handling & opening the virtual disk are what stand
between developers and fully encrypted file storage. It is based on libsqlfs
and SQLCipher.

If you are using this in your app, we'd love to hear about it! Please send us

Building Native Bits
--------------------

This app relies on OpenSSL libcrypto, sqlcipher, and libsqlfs, which
are all "native" C code that needs to be built before working with the
Java. First, make sure you have the prerequisites:

  apt-get install tcl libtool automake autoconf gawk

Now build everything:

  cd /path/to/guardianproject/iocipher
  git submodule init
  git submodule update
  make -C external
  ndk-build

The shared library .so files are in libs/armeabi and the libsqlfs.a
static library is in external/libsqlfs/.libs/libsqlfs.a.
