How can I see if a folder/file/drive is encrypted?

New Media Security - PC and PDA Security
There are two methods. The Properties command in My Computer and Windows Explorer has a tab labelled NMS for PC. This shows the status of the folder/drive as plain or encrypted, the number of encrypted files it contains, and a list of the file names of the encrypted files it holds. NMS for PC can also show icons in My Computer and Windows Explorer which depict encrypted folders and/or files by overlaying a small black dot in the lower right-hand corner of the symbol for the item.

What information can be obtained from encrypted file?

If the file has been encrypted with a binary key, then it contains the key ID, from which an adversary can know the time when the key (not the encrypted file) has been created. No specific information is present if a password or a raw key has been used. Please remember that Silver Key Description text is not encrypted. All other parcel data - including even the color of the custom background - is encrypted and cannot be acceessed without knowing the right password.

Given an encrypted file, can the computer which has been used for producing it be traced?

Frequently Asked Questions
If you turn on the option 'Show hidden files' in your file manager, you might see strange files in the directory where encryption occurs with names looking like 8AB59B31820F0000-6F060000-4D75603B. Those files are produced by the shredder. File shredding is a lengthy process, and in order to avoid name conflicts, the shredder renames the files in the shredding queue before processing. The strange names you see in the directory list are temporary names of the files being shredded.

Is there a limit on the file size or on the number of encrypted files?

Frequently Asked Questions
Neither Kryptel nor Silver Key have any file size limit, but Windows does. The resulting file cannot be larger than 4Gb if your system is Windows 95, 98, or ME. The same restriction applies for FAT32-formatted Windows 2000/XP volumes. Additionally, Silver Key allows you to create an encrypted file of any size, but Windows will not run a too large executable. There is a limit on the number of encrypted files depending on your system configuration.

Can I scrub just a file, a folder, or the empty space on a hard drive?

Jiiva
Scrubbing parts of a disk is not as safe as scrubbing the entire drive. For example, many applications utilize temporary and backup files while they are running. If you scrub a file you were just working on, it is highly possible that the data still exists on your hard drive because of a temporary or backup file used by the software you were running. See our other product AutoScrubber for a solution to this problem.

You will be prompted to choose which existing folder you would like to move your data into from a drop-down list. This is a short-coming of the PowerX interface... you cannot move files from within the interface. To move the files to a different folder, you have two options.

Cannot decrypt a file which was encrypted with CCrryyppttoo. Why?

FAQ
This FAQ assumes that you know your password and typed it correctly! The most likely cause for this problem is that you opened the encrypted file with Pocket Word or Pocket Excel. Never do this! Opening and closing an encrypted file will cause Pocket Word or Pocket Excel that the file will be saved (converted) even you haven't changed the file. If you accidentally opened an encrypted file do a soft-reset in order to avoid that the file will be saved (destroyed).

Why doesn't source control detect that I have deleted a file/folder on my local disk?

Jim Lamb : Team Foundation Server FAQ
The main scenario here is deleting a file (by mistake or intentionally) outside of Team Foundation and then trying the get that file back from source control. If the file version has not changed the server thinks the user already has the file and does not copy it over. This is because the server keeps a list of files that the user already has and when activities are made outside of source control this list becomes out of date.
