The directory names are not enciphered, they are replaced by unique
filenames AAA, BAA, CAA, DAA, etc.

The relevant section of code is:

                memset(cp, 'A', dirent->name_len);
                len = dirent->name_len;
                id = name_id[len]++;
                while ((len > 0) && (id > 0)) {
                        *cp += id % 26;
                        id = id / 26;
                        cp++;
                        len--;
                }

note the first thing done is to replace the file name with 'AAAA...'.
The rest is to change it up so the filenames are unique.
