B-5. Select the Security Platform Features you want to configure and click Next to continue. Details on Features Secure e-mail User-specific e-mail encryption and/or signing to prevent unauthorized persons from reading or changing your e-mails. Using this feature guarantees that only the e-mail creator and the specified recipients will be able to decrypt and read the message or validate the identity of the sender. If you chose to configure this feature, you can request a certificate for secure e-mail (if a certificate request web address is set in your policy settings). The wizard will provide information how to configure secure e-mail. The configuration of your mail client is not part of this wizard. Thus the status cannot be displayed here. File and folder encryption - Encrypting File System (EFS) The operating system incorporates the functionality to perform user-specific encryption of the content of folders and files on the local computer using the Microsoft Encrypting File System (EFS). Only the user who created a file in these folders can access the content of this file. Other users have to be granted access rights to an EFS folder in an explicit administrative operation to enable them to use files in it. If you chose to configure this feature, you can select a certificate for EFS. You can also request or create a new certificate. EFS is not supported in Windows Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium and XP Home Editions. File and folder encryption - Personal Secure Drive (PSD) Personal Secure Drive features file and folder encryption similar to EFS. Unlike EFS, PSD is supported in Windows Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium and XP Home Editions. A logical drive is provided to permitted users. This drive offers access protection and encryption for all content in it. The encryption is performed automatically. A PSD cannot be accessed via its UNC identifier to get readable data and can be installed only on the local computer. Network access is not possible. If you chose to configure this feature, you can set up, modify or delete your PSD. Like EFS configuration, you can select a certificate for PSD. You can also request or create a new certificate. - 14 -
