What is EFS?

Encrypting File System (EFS) is used to encrypt sensitive data in files stored on disks using the NTFS file system. EFS is easy to manage, difficult to hack, and transparent to the owner of a file and to applications because it runs as an integrated system service. Only the owner of a protected file can open the file and work on it. Using EFS involves a minimum of administrative effort.
