Plasma vaults is really neat! The OS integration is awesome.
But none of the available encryption algorithms are safe. Some have known vulnerabilities, and supposedly none are safe when used with an untrusted cloud storage.
- encFS security audit (encFS is also discontinued)
- goCryptFS audit (well maintained, memory safe Go. It failed the past audit but might have fixed many issues since)
- CryFS has a thesis explaining it, but no audit yet
- cryptomator had a positive audit in 2017, but i can’t find it and they lack the funds for another one
And you can now use Cryptomator without the electron app, from the CLI!

I think a KVaults integration would be awesome! And I would sponsor such efforts, and hope that more people join to improve security in KDE!
