+ | |||
+ | The File Fabric can also be configured for per file, or folder encryption, in which Files can be strongly encrypted using FIPS certified AES encryption. This configuration is done by the Administrator in the encryption policy settings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | When this is turned on for users they can choose an encryption phrase for the file being uploaded t**hat is not stored on the server** and must be remembered by the end user. \\ \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | When such files are shared the end user trying to access the shared link is prompted for a password similar to a password protected file. If the correct password is provided then the files is decrypted and downloaded. \\ \\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== File / Folder Permalinks ===== | ||
+ | |||
