How to implement Encryption/Decryption on data?

 

Data encryption is a method in which highly important and sensitive data is converted into unreadable form before its storage or transmission over the LAN/WAN. You can read encrypted data or decrypt it, if you have access to password or secret key.

 

Case Study: MCS folder have two files name mcs-morning and mcs-evening. User A wants to secure mcs-morning file from user B and all other users in the network. But user B also wants to secure mcs-evening file from user A and all other users in the network.

To implement this, first make a folder with name MCS folder and set NTFS permission as only administrator, user A, user B access MCS folder and administrator have full rights and user A and user B have modify permission on MCS folder. Now to secure files, login with user A and follow the given steps. 

First open the MCS folder and right click on mcs-morning file then click on properties.

 

  • Now click on advance button then check to encrypt content to secure data.

  • Click Ok button then apply.
