It "escaped" the lab.              I read an article interviewing the engineer that developed that at IBM. He        said that it was deliberately awkward so it couldn't be performed        accidentally.               AA> EFS intriqued me. I always thought it would be handy to have at        AA> least one live-encryted folder or something. But it doesn't        AA> sound prudent to play with it now.              I'd use VeraCrypt and do the whole hard drive if you go encryption. My        opinion, of course, but in my IT career, I found that to be a good solution        (there's a Linux filesystem that can do that also).              -- Sean              ...
