FILE ENCRYPTION

This article describes how to use the Windows XP Encrypting File System (EFS) feature to store files in an encrypted format on your hard disk. Encryption is the process of converting data into a format that cannot be read by others. You can use EFS to automatically encrypt your data when it is stored on the hard disk. The Encrypting File System (EFS) is a file system driver that provides filesystem-level encryption in Microsoft Windows (2000 and later) operating systems, except Windows XP Home Edition, Windows Vista Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium. The technology enables files to be transparently encrypted on NTFS file systems to protect confidential data from attackers with physical access to the computer.

These programs will scramble your data using a variety of algorithms, to keep your files safe.
