Transparent Encryption Solution for Endpoint Devices
The goal of this thesis is to propose and implement a transparent encryption solution for the Microsoft Windows platform. The solution should be able to integrate with the data loss prevention (DLP) product and extend it. The implementation utilizes the Microsoft File System Minifilter Driver framework, which allows it to monitor and modify access to files on an external device or a disk in a running system. Protected files are encrypted in the background in order to not interfere with user's work. The driver ensures, that the user is always working with decrypted data. Furthermore, an external application will be developed, which will allow the user to access the protected files even in a network without the DLP product active.
