  1. Full disk encryption software


    Hello, I'm looking to fully encrypt a few computers at the house (running Windows 10 Home Edition). It seems most companies out there sell only to enterprise customers. I need something simple (my wife will never agree to dealing with VeraCrypt. You feel my pain?).

    I'm looking for something similar to what you see at work (i.e. you boot up and have to enter a "boot password", then a second password to get to your Desktop.

    Thanks

    Tom

    Encrypted Disk

    Hi,

    Thanks for help and response, Full disk encryption software :)

    I think was bitlocker, but its strange because i I thought
    that encrypt all the disc as a whole, and if took the disk out, ok should be encrypted.

    But i was logged in windows and copied the files , the same encryptiton persists in files too?

    Or will be impossibel without the public key and the certainty of the software used?

    Any forum that you suggest to ask some more help?

    Regards

    Software encryption

    read this:
    The Encrypting File System (EFS) is a file system driver with filesystem-level encryption available in Microsoft Windows (2000 and later) operating systems, except Windows XP Home Edition, Windows Vista Basic, and Windows Vista Home Premium. The technology transparently allows files to be encrypted on NTFS file systems to protect confidential data from attackers with physical access to the computer.

    User authentication and access control lists can protect files from unauthorized access while the operating system is running, but are easily circumvented if an attacker gains physical access to the computer. One solution is to store the files encrypted on the disks of the computer. EFS does this using public key cryptography, and aims to ensure that decrypting the files is in theory impossible without the correct key. However, EFS is in practice susceptible to brute-force attacks against the user account passwords. In other words, encryption of files is only as strong as the password to unlock the decryption key.

    Encrypted Disk

    What good would encryption be if all you had to do to defeat it was copy the files? You copied files that were encrypted, and there is no way to decrypt them without the key.
