background beyond your control. The reason for this is mainly to minimize the amount

of extra work you need to do when working with encrypted data. You probably only

want to work as normal and don’t bother about the corporate information security

rules.

Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders supports three standard algorithms with

various key lengths, including the Endpoint Encryption FIPS 140-2 certified AES-256

algorithm.

With central management using the Endpoint Encryption Manager, and distribution of

encryption keys using the secure Endpoint Encryption Server, it is easy to allow

sharing of encrypted documents within an organization. When your Endpoint

Encryption Administrator assigns groups of users to encryption keys, the users in the

group can exchange and read encrypted documents like any other document, without

noticing any difference. Users not assigned to the key will not be able to read

documents encrypted with that key.

Using this mechanism it is possible to protect documents and folders on shared units,

e.g. a network server from unauthorized access by encrypting it with a proper key and

allocating this key to authorized users only. This approach provides for encryption key

hierarchies to be created, with an organization common key at the bottom (that every

user has), to specific department or group keys at the top (assigned only to selected

users within that department or group).

Management

When you authenticate to Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders, the software

communicates with an Endpoint Encryption Server to update its policy and Folders, i.e.

try to access encrypted documents or do a manual Endpoint Encryption for Files and

Folders logon, provided that you are online. Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders

will work also when offline, provided that your McAfee Administrator has made the

central encryption key(s) available for offline use.

The Endpoint Encryption Administrator creates policies that are applied to you.

Whenever you logon, your policy is applied and updated. Your Endpoint Encryption

Administrator may also force you to do an initial logon after the client has been

installed on your computer. You will notice such a forced logon in that you cannot

close the authentication window before you have authenticated.

Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders client

Once the Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders client is installed, the computer

needs to restart. After re-start, you may be forced to do a logon to retrieve the correct
