Encrypted File System on your Computer? - Encryption
| Encrypted File System on your Computer?Do you encrypt any of your files on your computer? I think it is a good idea so that if you lose or your computer gets stolen then thief doesn't get your data too!I found encfs on linux to be very easy to use and effective. It's great for backups too. Keeps the nosy people out and doesn't interfere with using your computer. |
|  The only issue with encrypting your files is you slow the performance of the computer. So its really only a good idea to be encrypting the files that you really dont want people to see.In the most common of people there is very little need to encrypt data. but for all those that do and are not on Linux, PGP, and TrueCrypt are very good options There are of course plenty of others out there if your willing to look around the web a while. Mac |
| I would disagree. The speed of today's computers should have the encryption speed a non-issue for most users. Consider all the personal details that might be on your computer... passwords... bank account numbers... scans of your documents... photos of your family... Do you want those in the hands of a criminal? Additionally, if just a few things are encrypted they might appear to be super important and therefore a target. Encrypt everything and make sure your backups are encrypted too. |
| I think Encryption is very useful to be utilized because somehow you can secure important file in the computer. I know that there are a lot of cases these days wherein the files were destroyed because of the unsafe way of keeping files in the computer. I have used Encryption for a long time and I can say that it is really effective. My files are protected well from thieves. |
| I agree that it is okay to encrypt your confidential files in your computer to keep other people from opening, stealing or using them. You don't want all your hard work to go to waste or be used by someone else if they ever get stolen, do you? The only drawback is, if you get to forward these files to other people, you would have to inform them of the password. |
| "Encrypt the file system not the files"
Then you can send files to someone if you want. The great thing about encfs is you can make different encrypted folders on your hard drive with different passwords. Just don't forget them (or write them on the bottom of your laptop)! |
| "Re: Encrypted File System on your Computer?"
Encrypting files is really a good practice. In case of emergency, if your PC has stolen at least they can't stole your important files. |
