Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad maqashay wax ku saabsan sirta darawalka BitLocker ee laga heli karo ^(BitLocker)Windows 10 , laakiin taasi maaha habka kaliya ee sirta ah ee jira, sababtoo ah Windows Pro & Enterprise Edition waxay sidoo kale bixisaa Nidaamka Faylka Encrypting^{(Encrypting File System)} ama EFS . Farqiga ugu weyn ee u dhexeeya BitLocker & EFS encryption waa in BitLocker ay sirayso darawalka oo dhan halka EFS ay kuu ogolaanayso inaad sirayso faylalka iyo galalka gaarka ah.

BitLocker aad bay faa'iido u leedahay haddii aad rabto inaad sir sirtid dhammaan darawalka si aad u ilaaliso xogtaada xasaasiga ah ama shakhsi ahaaneed iyo sirtu kuma xidhna akoon isticmaale kasta, marka la soo koobo, mar BitLocker uu karti u yeesho darawalka maamulaha, koontada isticmaale kasta PC-gaas wuxuu yeelan doonaa darawalkaas si qarsoodi ah. Dhibaatada kaliya ee BitLocker waa in ay ku xiran tahay moduleka la aamini karo ama qalabka TPM kaas oo ay tahay inuu la yimaado kombuyuutarkaaga si aad u isticmaasho sirta BitLocker .

Incrypting File System ( EFS ) waxay faa'iido u leedahay kuwa kaliya ee ilaaliya faylkooda ama faylkooda halkii ay ka ilaalin lahaayeen wadaha oo dhan. EFS waxay ku xidhan tahay koontada isticmaale ee gaarka ah, ie faylalka sir ah waxa geli kara oo kaliya koontada isticmaale ee gaarka ah ee sir faylalkaas iyo galalkaas. Laakin haddii koontada isticmaale kale la isticmaalo, markaas faylalkaas iyo faylalkaas waxay noqonayaan kuwo aan si buuxda loo heli karin.

Furaha sirta ah ee EFS^(EFS) waxa lagu kaydiyaa gudaha Windows - ka halkii uu ka ahaan lahaa qalabka TPM ee PC-ga (oo lagu isticmaalo BitLocker ). Ciladda isticmaalka EFS waa in furaha sirta ah uu ka soo saari karo weeraryahan nidaamka, halka BitLocker uusan lahayn cilladaan. Laakiin weli, EFS waa hab fudud oo aad si degdeg ah u ilaalin karto faylalkaaga gaarka ah & faylalka PC-ga ee ay wadaagaan isticmaaleyaal badan.

Encrypt Files and Folders with Encrypting File System (EFS) in Windows 10

You may have heard abоut BitLocker drivе encryption аvailable in Windows 10, but that’s not the only one encryption method out there, becаυse Windows Рro & Enterprise Editіon also offеrs Encrypting File System or EFS. The main difference between BitLocker & EFS encryption is that BitLocker encrypts an entire drive whereas EFS lets you encrypt individual files and folders.

BitLocker is very useful if you want to encrypt the entire drive to protect your sensitive or personal data and the encryption isn’t tied to any user account, in short, once BitLocker is enabled on a drive-by an administrator, every single user account on that PC will have that drive as encrypted. The only drawback of BitLocker is that it is dependent on trusted platform module or TPM hardware which must come with your PC for you to use BitLocker encryption.

Encrypting File System (EFS) is useful for those who only protect their individual file or folders rather than the entire drive. EFS is tied to the particular user account, i.e. encrypted files can only be accessed by the particular user account who encrypted those files & folders. But if a different user account is used, then those files & folders will become completely inaccessible.

EFS’s encryption key is stored inside the Windows rather than the PC’s TPM hardware (used in BitLocker). The drawback of using EFS is that the encryption key can be extracted by an attacker from the system, whereas BitLocker doesn’t have this shortcoming. But still, EFS is an easy way to quickly protect your individual files & folders on PC shared by several users. Anyway, without wasting any time, let’s see How to Encrypt Files and Folders with Encrypting File System (EFS) in Windows 10 with the help of the below-listed tutorial.
