EFS...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encrypting_File_System

A feature of NTFS 5 (post Windows 2000 onwards, iirc)... efs = encrypting file system, & thus, is a native feature you can leverage.

This is IF you use Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/VISTA for hosting your files that is, on an NTFS filesystem...

P.S.=> Find out, take a read above, if it satisfies all your requirements... it, like anything "security" always has SOME catch-22... apk
