The Encrypting File System (EFS) is a feature built into Microsoft Windows that provides file system-level encryption to protect sensitive data stored on a disk. EFS allows users to encrypt individual files and folders, ensuring that unauthorized users do not have access to the encrypted content even if they can access the physical storage medium. ### Key Features of EFS: 1. **File-Level Encryption**: EFS allows for the encryption of individual files and directories instead of encrypting the entire disk.
