Re: Encryption

["Saif El Sherei" <SSherei () npcegypt com>]

From my point view encrypting files and folders would be using public and private key pairs for asymmetric encryption. 
Or one key known to all parties using the file in symmetric encryption. 

So basically if you want to do this for multiple users to use this file. Then I think that either ways Ur gonna need to 
generate pub/priv key pair to each user. Or generate the secret key and share it with users.  Thats from my experience 
with PGP(consumer) & GPG(open-source) so basically u won't need integration with AD. 

Also worth mentioning that there are some hybrid techs like PGP encryption that uses both symmetric and asymmetric 
encryption like RSA/IDEA. 
So depending on the way you choose to apply encryption you'll decide which is best for Ur environment. 

Hope this helped.
