What are some motivations for a general oram fs? Travis Travis, I felt quite scared and confused and a little angry reading this question. What led you to ask it? What kind of plans are you hoping to inform from the answer? Do you use encryption, or do anything to protect your privacy? Regarding access timing, like tor you could use cover traffic accessing your data, writing and reading to it constantly. I wonder if there is something newer than ORAM that obscures access timing patterns.
