asked on

encryption on drives and server side encryption

Dear Experts

When we enable encryption in windows 10 systems it encrypts when we store documents, what exactly happens here as we take the stored files from the encrypted  and transfer it via email or copy to USB or share it in network drive all those other side people who have access can open and read or modify based on permissions does it mean it is not file level encryption I mean whoever know the system password files are accessible if someone wants to crack the harddisk then the file formats stored is not as per the document extension like .docs, or .exls please help me to understand this.

2. what does it mean server side encryption like next cloud deployment says we can enable server side encryption how is it different from ssl enablement that is user accessing through https,
please help me understand above two , thank you very much in advance.

Agree noci. There is private cloud which also term as on premise cloud by some. Indeed we can only control what we own and see and know. Client side encryption will see end to end if the key retained with the user - better still using a 2factor like smartcard with private key staying intact.
