Detached header for encrypted FS

[schebro]

Version of Singularity:

BA

Expected behavior

With the current design encrypted containers use dm-crypt linux libraries through cryptsetup utility to encrypt and decrypt file system. Currently we are not detaching the header and the body from the encrypted container but it's possible to detach the two for extra security where body of the container can be publicly shared and header can be shared privately.

Actual behavior

NA

Steps to reproduce behavior

NA

There's no real necessity for this feature right now. Will keep the issue open and revisit in later releases if necessary.

Hello,

This is a templated response that is being sent out to all open issues. We are working hard on 'rebuilding' the Singularity community, and a major task on the agenda is finding out what issues are still outstanding.

Please consider the following:

1. Is this issue a duplicate, or has it been fixed/implemented since being added?
2. Is the issue still relevant to the current state of Singularity's functionality?
3. Would you like to continue discussing this issue or feature request?

Thanks, Carter
