My problem:

I accidentally deleted a number of files using the rm command on an eCryptfs-encrypted Ubuntu laptop.

After cloning the laptop HD using Clonezilla, I mounted it on a virtual machine and scanned it using extundelete.

Extundete WAS able to recover some files and directories in my home directory (where I deleted the original files). However, I don't know how to decrypt them.

The files and directories are located in  /home/.ecryptfs/myusername/.Private and have names like:
ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWY..eji-ZXkFURR9uWEBwMcCU.iQiwLKedbxBNrycVOxcA.uMuYBD-bB---


The aim is to recover as much as possible, but the criterion for awarding the 10 BTC will be the recovery of at least one unencrypted version of a file contained in the data above.  I can provide my ecrypfs password, and the original cloned HD if required.    

Because this is sensitive data, the offer is for trusted forum members only.
