Setting Encryption Policy in the Registry (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
To establish encryption policy using the Windows Embedded CE encryption filter, set the EncryptByDefault entry in the registry. This setting indicates whether to encrypt actual files. If encryption is on, the filter encrypts the data and records the key used to encrypt the file.
The following example registry setting shows how to enable encryption:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\ENCFilt]
'EncryptByDefault'=dword:1
If the EncryptByDefault setting indicates not to encrypt a file, the filter passes all data to the underlying file system without changing any aspect of the data.
