1) Using Microsoft’s Encrypting File System
(EFS)
Microsoft’s Encrypting File System (EFS) is a
cryptography system for Windows
operating systems that uses the Windows NTFS file
system. Because EFS is tightly
integrated with the file system, file encryption and
decryption are transparent to
the user. In this project, you will turn on and use
EFS.
In 1982 David and Anne Martin were
renovating a fireplace that had been
sealed off for many years in their
17th-century house in the village of Bletchingley, England. In the
chimney, the Martins discovered the remains of a carrier pigeon
with a small scarlet capsule attached to its leg. The red color of
the capsule marked the bird as a military carrier pigeon for the
Allied Forces in World War II. Inside the capsule was a message
written in code. There were 27 groups of five letters or numbers,
on thin paper the size of a cigarette paper. The message read:
AOAKN HVPKD FNFJW YIDDC RQXSR DJHFP
GOVFN MIAPX PABUZ WYYNP CMPNW HJRZH NLXKG MEMKK ONOIB AKEEQ WAOTA
RBQRH DJOFM TPZEH LKXGH RGGHT JRZCQ FNKTQ KLDTS FQIRW AOAKN 27
1525/6
At the bottom of the
coded message were two items that were not in code: Number of
Copies Sent: Two” and “Sender: Serjeant [sic] W. Stot.” Additional
sets of numbers (NURP 40 TW194 and NURP 37 DK 76) probably
indicated the military number of the two birds who carried the
message.
Write a short paragraph on the
usefulness of this exercise.
