Cloud ready fuse filesystem with strong cryptographic capabilities

State of the project: Starting, at the moment only creation of files works, not even reading or writing into them.

This is a major step forward because the basic understanding of the Fuse structure looks promising and faster progress.

Design goals:

• no private data is unencrypted in the storage directory
• every file will be encrypted by a different symmetric key
• symmetric keys are exchanged using public key encryption
• ownership of a file is taken by the files key
• ownership is shared by sharing the files key
• trust operations are mapped to file operations

Howto test:

1. You need a working fuse.py in some directory FUSEPY.

This is the directory where you checked out

git clone https://github.com/terencehonles/fusepy.git

FUSEPY=$PWD/fusepy

Set the Python path to the cloudestine directory where you have checked out and the FUSEPY directory.

2. Download the sources with

   git clone https://github.com/thomasfricke/cloudestine.git

3. For simplicity we do everything in the cloudestine directory

   cd cloudestine export PYTHONPATH=$PWD/main:$FUSEPY

4. Run the tests

   python -m unittest2 discover -s main

Thanks to Matthias Schmitz for forcing me to make it work outside of Eclipse.
