It provides transparent, client-side encryption for personal cloud storage. [4] Cryptomator encrypts each file separately and then allows the user to sync files with a cloud or local storage of choice. [5] It is available for all major operating system including Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux. [6]
FileVault was introduced with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, [1] and could only be applied to a user's home directory, not the startup volume. The operating system uses an encrypted sparse disk image (a large single file) to present a volume for the home directory.
EncFS is a Free FUSE-based cryptographic filesystem.It transparently encrypts files, using an arbitrary directory as storage for the encrypted files. [4] [5]Two directories are involved in mounting an EncFS filesystem: the source directory, and the mountpoint.
NordLocker is an encryption software with cloud integration. The software uses so called "lockers" - encrypted folders to encrypt and store user files. Users can create an unlimited number of lockers, drop files in to encrypt them, and transfer lockers separately. [8] The app uses client-side encryption to secure files on the user's device ...
PGP encryption applications include e-mails and attachments, digital signatures, full disk encryption, file and folder security, protection for IM sessions, batch file transfer encryption, and protection for files and folders stored on network servers and, more recently, encrypted or signed HTTP request/responses by means of a client-side ...
A sparse image is a type of disk image file used on macOS that grows in size as the user adds data to the image, taking up only as much disk space as stored in it. Encrypted sparse image files are used to secure a user's home directory by the FileVault feature in Mac OS X Snow Leopard and earlier.
Note that this does not imply that the encrypted disk can be used as the boot disk itself; refer to pre-boot authentication in the features comparison table. Partition: Whether individual disk partitions can be encrypted. File: Whether the encrypted container can be stored in a file (usually implemented as encrypted loop devices).
Filesystem-level encryption, [1] often called file-based encryption, FBE, or file/folder encryption, is a form of disk encryption where individual files or directories are encrypted by the file system itself. This is in contrast to the full disk encryption where the entire partition or disk, in which the file system resides, is encrypted.
