I am helping some journalists set up a secure NAS/network storage system but haven't found a way to put together what they need. Here are their needs:
encrypted file storage
be able to access their files over the local network, bonus points if from the rest of the internet
encrypted file transfer to foil eavesdropping
limit file access to only authorized users
access the files in folders just like other folders/drives on their computers (ie no weird interfaces, FTP clients, etc)
reasonable transfer speeds
ability to access files from Linux (ubuntu) machines, if it works cross-platform then that's great too
So far, I have set up a server with encrypted disks and moved the files there. I looked into SSHFS, NFS over SSH, etc. SSHFS is incredibly slow on their lan, and that's with just one user and caching disabled. I get the impression NFS over SSH has similar problems.
What other options are out there?
