Hi,
I am trying to store the certificates for NTFS Encryption on the smartcards
of my user. It took me quite long to find a CSP which is capable of doing
so. So far it is working now but now I have some questions regarding NTFS
encryption.
Im am still experimenting around. First I create an encrypted folder, then I
export the encryption certificate and import it into the smartcard and
delete the certificate from the windows store. If I now log off and on I can
only access the encrypted folder if the smartcard is inserted into the
reader. The problem here is that as soon I create a new encrypted folder
windows does not use the existing encryption certificate but generates a new
one. So I would require to have for every encrypted folder a seperate smart
card. Any thoughts how I can optimize this?
As I mentioned above I currently move the windows generated encryption
certificate from the windows store to the card. It would be much more
elegant if I could generate my own certificates and windows uses them for
encryption. I know that the certificate requires the "File System
Encryption" Attribute. In fact some of the certificates I generated do work
fine and other are just ignored by windows. Is there somewhere a document
about the requirements of an encryption certificate available?
Kind Regards
Your M&M
