To encrypt a file, simply right-click on a file and select 'DESlock+' followed by 'Encrypt file with DESlock+...'
The option of encrypting the file with an encryption key or password will be given (providing permission has
been granted to encrypt using a password for managed users). In addition if your Enterprise Server
administrator has enabled Key Streamlining (i.e. you only have one encryption key and do not have the option
of encrypting with a password) then the key choice will not be displayed. When the file is encrypted, the file
icon will change to show that it is an encrypted file and the file name will have .dlp added to the suffix.
4.5 Using Full Disk Encryption
DESlock+ Full Disk Encryption allows an entire disk or disks, or selected partitions to be encrypted using 256-
bit AES encryption and Pre-Boot authentication is required to gain access to the machine.
Managed users
For users who are under administrative control, Full Disk Encryption will by default, run in managed
administrative mode. In this mode, using the DESlock+ Enterprise Server an administrator can specify settings
for individual machines, including default passwords, but can also securely delegate the process of
encryption to the users if required. Additional benefits of using the Enterprise
Console include the ability to manage the full disk encryption process and to maintain recovery information
to allow access to encrypted machines should user password information be lost.
Before you can use the full disk encryption feature, you must have an appropriate licence.
The time taken to fully encrypt a hard drive depends on its capacity and the other processes running on the
machine at the time. Disk encryption typically takes in excess of 1 hour
Note.
Even though all data on the disk is encrypted, DESlock+ will still allow the further encryption of files, folders
etc. using encryption keys. This allows the user to safely exchange encrypted data with other users.
Unmanaged users
Unmanaged users can choose their own username and password, but there is no built in recovery facility.
Because of this users must make careful note of all user and administrative passwords used as if these are
lost the system will become inaccessible and the data stored will be lost.
