Hi, Chris and Eduard,

While the first part is trivial the second one is not that trivial.

I have noticed that this was reported upstream back in 2018, so I am tagging
this bug report as forwarded.

Unfortunately, upstream has declared encfs as unmaintained. Dirk Jagdmann
(doj) suggested fuse3 related commits and opened a pull request for this 

https://github.com/vgough/encfs/pull/664

He has a repo at

https://github.com/doj/encfs.git

which he maintains as an encfs fork, do not know if personal or for general
use. According to its README.md it is intended to support fuse3 library and
OpenSSL 3.

Hope this helps,
