    Hi,

    What you need is an encrypted file system application.
    Few examples of tools which implement this concept: Utimaco SafeGuard
    PrivateDisk, PGP Whole Disk Encryption or TrueCrypt which is free. For my
    point of view I recommend you TrueCrypt.

    Subject: File encryption

    Hi group!

    Question on file encryption. We want to add a layer to our file security.
    Our hard disks are encrypted and we would like to add single file
    encryption.

    We are using Utimaco Private Crypto for single file but we need to re-save
    the file everytime we make a change.

    What is the best product that would silently encrypt and decrypt on-the-fly
    so it's transparent to the users?

    Thanks!

    Mork!
