By Val Bakh

Previously, in Parts 1 and 2 of the blog series about Encrypting File System (EFS), we introduced the main concepts and described how EFS encrypts and decrypts files, how you can share those files with your trusted colleagues, and how a data recovery agent (DRA) can recover your files if something happens to you or to your private key. In this final installment of the series about EFS, we’ll look at several typical scenarios.
