From your earlier and more basic studies of the Windows system architecture, you may remember the two overarching ?le systems that are used when creating an initial Windows drive partition:
Since the introduction of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, NTFS has become 70-640 the de facto ?le system for use in the Windows platform. However, both Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista still support the capability to read and interpret FAT32 and ear- lier volumes.
Within NTFS, Microsoft supports a technology for security and encrypting data written across NTFS volumes called Encrypting File System (EFS). This has been available since Windows 2000 and is not a new technology to Windows Server 2008. However, although it has been around for many years, it remains useful for the modern-day administrator. Using EFS, administrators can support symmetric and asymmetric forms of encryption to protect data against being read by applications or malicious users by running the data through several standardized cryptographic algorithms. This data encryption occurs at the ?le level and not at the application level, making it dif?cult to compromise. Furthermore, EFS supports the use of keys that can be archived and exported to external media for backup.
