A key feature of Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders is the principle of

containment, or persistent encryption, as it is also known. This means that the

encrypted folder or file always will retain its encryption, irrespective of how it is edited,

moved or copied.

The file remains encrypted and secure regardless of where or how it is moved. This

applies to files moved to other folders, or, USB memory sticks, floppy disks or a

network share.

Files and folders are decrypted manually by the user. The user right-clicks on the

encrypted file or folder and selects the appropriate menu option. It is worth noting

that policies can restrict this option. Likewise, policies can enforce decryption if

necessary.

A user’s access to various encryption keys is defined by Endpoint Encryption

Administrators, and delivered to the Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders client

via the Endpoint Encryption Server. The user must authenticate to Endpoint Encryption

for Files and Folders before getting access to the key and eventually, the file. The

authentication is performed with the Endpoint Encryption logon dialog. If

authentication fails the user will be unable to read the encrypted files.

Once a user has accessed an encryption key, it can optionally be stored securely

(encrypted) on the user’s PC for future use (this is called the local key cache). Other

keys may only be available direct from the Endpoint Encryption Server - this can

prevent encrypted data from being used outside the corporate environment.

Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders encrypts folders and files transparently at the

original location of the file or folder. User interaction is minimal and the user perceives

the working environment as normal.

Policy entries define folders where all files will automatically be encrypted. This allows

directories, e.g. those containing Temp files to be encrypted also. This assures that all

temporary files created will be encrypted.

Files can also be encrypted based on a policy of their file type, e.g. a policy may state

that all Microsoft Word® document files (*.doc, *.rtf, etc) should be encrypted. The

user is never involved in applying policies. All policy enforcement is automatic and

beyond user control.

Finally, the user’s ability to do any operations with the Endpoint Encryption for Files

and Folders client can be policy controlled, for example, the ability to encrypt

additional folders by right-clicking, or create decrypted copies of files.
