Travis, WASTE sounds super cool. The question is earnest, I literally don't know why you would want an ORAM-FS for general personal use. The linked paper covers the ability to recover information in a multi-user environment, and suggests an ORAM storage to account for that - I get that. An ORAM-FS is different. What threats does the added benefit of using ORAM account for in a file system? As in; I really enjoy encryption and privacy, and I'm looking to get read up on when and where I should apply ORAM to a filesystem. It is frightening that it is in earnest for you to find more value, without expressing a reason to. I am reminded of times projects have been disrupted, or behaviors and situations been profiled preceding great harm What do threats matter, when there is an opportunity to encrypt? When something like this is posted, it is a blessing. Ideally, everyone would be using oramfs as much as they possibly could, for everything. To protect their privacy for the times when it ends up being relevant. The threat is that we might stop doing that. It is a very, very large threat.
