Data security has become an increasingly important factor in routine work with the development of applications, and users trend to obtain high security with maximum comfort. In this article a cryptographic file system called NAS_CFS used for NAS is designed. NAS_CFS has some characteristics as below: adding encryption function to file-system layer allows users to encrypt data transparently, obtaining high security by key management based on session ID and user ID, attachment and timeouts mechanisms, and NAS_CFS is an in-kernel file system of high performance using stackable mechanism.
