| Integrated File Level Cryptographical Access Control (IFLCAC) is a new file cryptography system which makes file security much easier for the end user to utilize. The system combines the benefits of traditional file level cryptography and file system cryptography, making it both secure and easy to use. An investigation into the current state of file cryptography is presented first, followed by the design and implementation details of Integrated File Level Cryptographical Access Control. An overview of the working system is discussed, detailing the inner workings of the new cryptography system. The new system is compared and contrasted with the existing file cryptography systems. The effectiveness of the system is analyzed via a series of experiments, measuring processing and memory overhead, file granularity, file system options, and user interactions. |
