Abstract

Many users of information handling systems use applications to create, manage, and/or save files containing information. Encryption of the files secures the data against access by unintended recipients. Information handling systems may be designed to perform encryption in the background with minimal user input. For example, applications, application plug-ins, or operating system (OS) level system services may facilitate encryption and decryption of application files with minimal user input. Such applications, plugins, and services may allow applications to interact with encryption systems, such as virtual file systems, and may direct file save and access operations through the encryption systems, automatically encrypting and decrypting files selected by the user without exposing the user to cumbersome or confusing encryption options.
