Description
I just got the go-ahead to use kbfs and it's pretty nifty - there are some good use cases for it and I'm excited to help improve it. A suggestion: One of the nice things about KBFS is that makes the encryption entirely transparent to the user. However, there should still be a means to view the raw encrypted data of files stored in KBFS - so that you users verify that it's actually fully encrypted.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping KBFS's storage and encryption paths and clarify what raw encrypted data should include and how users would access it. Done requires an agreed user-facing inspection mechanism and tests covering the expected encrypted output.
