Is there any max file size limitation like 64GB due to GCM mode?
I am worrying if there is any file size limitation due to the GCM mode. Can someone please clear up my confusion?
According to gocryptfs cryptography documentation each file is split into 4 kiB blocks and each block gets a new random 128 bit IV, so it doesn't matter if you have N 4 kiB files or one N*4 kiB file.
