The design of both are very similar. There are only minor feature differences. The following list is not exhaustive:

`securefs` has but `gocryptfs` hasn't:

* Native Windows support.

* Extended attribute on Mac.

* Random padding.

`gocryptfs` has but `securefs` hasn't:

* Reverse mount (mount a plain dir as an encrypted dir).

Thanks for your quick reply - interesting, will take a look!

BTW the reverse mount turns out to be a very useful feature that solves many problems with large file systems!
