Detailed Description

per block encryption using LZ4 algorithm/library

we use libfar cryptography infrastructure (tronconneuse/parallel_tronconneuse/crypto_module) because it makes sense for a per block compression (suitable for multithreading) by opposition to streamed compression per saved file. Each file will be compressed by segment, resulting in non optimum compression ratio but speed gain. the larger the block size is, the better closer the compression ratio will be to the optimum
