+Each file's cryptographic meta-data is stored inside the file itself, along
+with the encrypted contents.  This allows individual encrypted files to be
+copied between hosts and still be decrypted with the proper key.  eCryptfs is a
+native Linux file system, and has been part of the Linux kernel since version
+2.6.19.  This package contains the userland utilities to manage it.")
