`libstore` is used to provide a generic interface to access data (read/write) on
backing stores. This library implements many different backends which allow the
abstract store interface to be used with common types of storage -- devices,
files, memory, tasks, etc. It also allows stores to be combined and filtered in
various ways.
It more than just a thin layer between [[GNU Mach|microkernel/mach/gnumach]]
devices (`hd0` for example) and the device node below `/dev/`...

At <http://www.kataplop.net/pub/info/projets> you can find some effort to make
some crypto store.
At <http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/hurd/crypt-trans-0.0.3.tgz>, another package
can be found.

<teythoon> and I read hammys paper about mobile code, is it true that the
store code is loaded into the client? who is the server and who is the
client in this context?
<braunr> teythoon: "store code" ?
<teythoon> libstore
<braunr> the hurd libstore ?
<teythoon> yes
<braunr> hum, what paper ?
<teythoon> braunr:
http://users.student.lth.se/cs07fh9/2009-hammar-hurd-mobility.pdf
<braunr> how nice
<tschwinge> braunr: http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/news/2010-01-31.html
<teythoon> it raises an important point btw, the authentication done by
processes on the Hurd is one sided, only the client authenticates at the
server
<braunr> yes
<tschwinge> It'S also mentioned in
http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/documentation.html -- but of
course, any results he got from his work really should be integrated more
properly into the existing body of documents.
<tschwinge> As with so many other documents/discussions/etc. ;-|

<phcoder> Is it possible to specify hurd root by sth else than device name?
E.g. fs UUID?
<teythoon> phcoder: I do not believe so
