EFS Questions



Alright I have read af ew things about EFS and encrypting files on the
net and it's nto totally sinking in. First question is, are files that
you encrypt only accessible from the computer they reside throught hte
account that they were encrypted on or can you access them across the
network? Second, wouldn't using NTFS file permissions to lock people
out of certain folders be the same thing? Lastly, where is this
certificate that is spoken of. I'm a little unfamiliar with how
encryption works in the first place and these common observances are
leaving me a little more confused. I also don't understand why there
is no password involved in this type of encrypting technique. I use
AxCrypt to encrypt things and I need a password for that....that makes
sense to me where this method doesn't. Thanks!
