Location-based file encryption

Location-based file encryption allows your security officer to define locations where files are encrypted. We call these locations Secured Folders. To find out which locations on your computer are encrypted, see the Policies tab in the preference pane.

• New files in a location that is specified for encryption are encrypted automatically.
• If you move an unencrypted file to a location that is specified for encryption, it is encrypted.
• If you move an encrypted file to a location that is excluded from encryption, it is decrypted.
• If you have the key for an encrypted file, you can read and modify the content.
• If you do not have the key for an encrypted file, you can neither read its content nor move it to a different location.
• If you access an encrypted file from a computer where File Encryption is not installed, you cannot read its content.
