About Symantec Encryption Desktop

Symantec

™

Encryption Desktop, Powered by PGP Technology is a security tool that uses cryptography to protect your data against

unauthorized access.

Symantec Encryption Desktop protects your data while being sent by email. It lets you encrypt your entire hard drive—so

everything is protected all the time—or just a portion of your hard drive, via a virtual disk on which you can securely store your

most sensitive data. You can use it to share your files and folders securely with others over a network. It lets you put any

combination of files and folders into an encrypted, compressed package for easy distribution or backup. Finally, use Symantec

Encryption Desktop to shred (securely delete) sensitive files—so that no one can retrieve them—and shred free space on your hard

drive, so there are no unsecured remains of any files.

Use Symantec Encryption Desktop to create PGP keypairs and manage both your personal keypairs and the public keys of others.
