Any encrypted file system is a file storage system in which the files have had a cipher (or algorithm) applied to change the data to undecipherable bits without the cipher decrypting them. It is a secure means in which to store personal or classified information so that a person who gains access without the proper password or key cannot access the information.

∙ 9y agoA file encryption software is a data security software with which you can encrypt and secure your files and folders from all kinds of security threats. it uses the technique of 'cryptography' by which plain text in converted to cipher text and therefore the info beocmes unreadable for unauthorized users. try some nice and reliable data security software like TrueCrypt, Folder Lock and Data Protecto.

What can you do so that you can use file and folder encryption with a volume using the FAT file system?
Nothing. The FAT file system simply does not support the features needed for file/folder encryption. You'll have to convert the volume to NTFS.
Does fat32 support encryption?
No NTFS is the only file system capable of encryption
How do you use file and folder encryption with a volume using the fat file system and windows?
Convert the volume to NTFS
What can you do so that you can use file and folder encryption with a volume using the FAT file system and Windows Vista Business edition?
Convert a FAT volume to NTFS so that you can use encryption.
What file system must be used to encrypt an entire hard drive?
If you mean full Hard disk encryption, right down to the FAT Table, then I would recommend using a third party program that supports such functions such as "Truecrypt". NTFS for example supports file encryption and windows has "Bitlocker" which supports a type of drive encryption and file container encryption. There are also hardware based methods which allows for OS transparent hard drive encryption that would prevent the drive from being read in another system without the hardware key. File system is USUALLY not important. Since encryption at a hardware level bypasses the OS and is transparent to it.
What encryption mechanisms are built into Windows XP professional?
Encrypting File System (EFS)
Where can one find more information on folder encryption?
Folder encryption is a form of disk encryption where individual files or directories are encrypted by the file system itself. More information can be found at Microsoft.
What encryption mechanisms are built into Microsoft Windows XP Professional?
Encrypting File System (EFS)
What are the advantages of file encryption?
Security.
What file system must be used in order to encrypt folders and files in Windows Vista or xp?
EFS stands for Encrypted File System and is used to encrypt folders and files in Windows XP or Vista.This encryption works ONLY when using the Windows NTFS file system!
How you can decrypt the file?
Only with the proper Encryption key, without that it's lost forever. Encryption uses a different algorithm every time, and only the key generated at the time of encryption can decrypt that file.
Which file system supports encryption?
data encryption the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign governments. It is also now used increasingly by the financial industry to protect money transfers, by merchants to protect credit-card information in electronic commerce, and by corporations to secure sensitive communications of proprietary information.
