Part One: The Unreadable Drive

  1. File encryption: When a user encrypts a file or folder using EFS, the system generates a unique encryption key.
  2. Key storage: The encryption key is stored in a secure location, such as a user's profile or a smart card.
  3. File access: When a user tries to access an encrypted file, EFS checks the user's identity and verifies their access rights.
  4. Decryption: If the user has the correct encryption key and access rights, EFS decrypts the file on the fly, allowing the user to access its contents.
