You could check out how cryptfs and pgfs are implemented. IIRC,
cryptfs lies below the VFS layer (kernel) and pgfs above (hangs off
NFS in userspace). I read about it in Linux Journal years
ago... searching there turns up:
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2590
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=1383
but I also found an article in the May 2003 issue regarding
implementing a cryptfs.
You've got all that free time to burn, Dave ;)
