Microsoft To Add Encryption "Lock" Option In China | |
|
||
| Time: 14:01 EST/19:01 GMT | News Source: CBS Marketwatch | Posted By: Viper | ||
|
Software giant Microsoft Corp, whose image in China was tarnished over fears that its flagship Windows product was not fully secure, said on Friday it had entered a venture with a state-owned software firm to provide an extra encryption "lock" tailored for Windows in China. China National Computer Software & Technology Service Corp will develop a security enhancement for Microsoft's Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional products to support corporate and government-level secure data transactions. Once the product receives approval from the State Encryption Administration of China, it will be packaged with Windows XP software sold in China, Microsoft said. | ||

| I would be interested in seeing this kind of security in the American version as well. On other encryption-related matters, I have often wanted to be able to right-click a folder and be able to encrypt it with a password. This would encrypt the contents and require that the password be entered before any information could be accessed within that folder, whether from Explorer or any other program. Once the password is entered, the folder and contents would be unlocked, but could be re-locked again, even if the screen saver kicked in. This would be particularly nice for those of us who have shared, at-home PC's. How hard would this be? |

Posterguy,
Again, I thank you for your response, but...
I'm a Windows NT admnistrator running 2000 at home and work. I'm familiar with login procedures and NTFS permissions. Again, there are ways to accomplish what I want, but they all restrict my convenience. Security and convenience are, of course, always at odds. I'm saying I want a specific feature and it's not something that is worth MS's time to write. Not enough people would use it.

| Posterguy, if you refuse to read my posts, or alternatively are unable to understand my posts, I have no further interest in talking to you. You make too many assumptions about my statements without actually listening to what I say. Good day, sir. |
