I know on Mac OS,we can use Macfuse for write a file system in user space,we can create a box encryption. I don't know on IOS has a framework,library like FUSE,Macfuse that i can write my file system for encryption/decryption file (possible mount on a directory/folder). Can anyone point me a solution?

iOS and iPadOS devices use a file encryption methodology called Data Protection, whereas the data on an Intel-based Mac is protected with a volume encryption technology called FileVault.
Apple makes use of AES 256-bit encryption for iPhone encryption. 256-bit AES encryption is considered a very strong encryption standard and can provide a great level of security for data stored in your iPhones.
The hardware generations of A9 through A13, S5, S6, and S7 use AES-128 in XTS mode, where the 256-bit per file key is split to provide a 128-bit tweak and a 128-bit cipher key.
In the Finder on your Mac, open a window, then Control-click the item you want to encrypt in the sidebar. Choose Encrypt [item name] from the shortcut menu. Create a password for the disk and click Encrypt Disk. Important: Be sure to record and keep this password in a safe place.
As for built-in iOS support, there are a number of options, varying from a per-file basis to encrypting the entire sandbox of your app. I suggest you read Protecting Data Using On-Disk Encryption in the iOS App Programming Guide.
All of these options, however, require the user to have a passcode set on the device. Older devices may not support file system encryption.
One of the options not mentioned in this documentation is to set the DataProtectionClass entitlement value to NSFileProtectionComplete. This will automatically protect all the files in your app's sandbox.
Finally, I suggest you watch the WWDC 2011 Video Securing iOS Applications ("Securing Application Data" on Apple's video page) and hear directly from Apple engineers about the best practices. This video covers pretty much everything that Apple offers.
edit:
According to people on the dev forums, the DataProtectionClass entitlement may not be working correctly in current iOS versions.
