Abstract

See full text

A method and system for encrypted file access are provided. The method includes the steps of: receiving (502, 552) an access request for an encrypted file (401-403) by an application (110); determining (503, 553) the application (110) making the access request; checking (505, 555) if the application (110) is authorized for access; and if authorized, allowing the access request. The access request may be a read or write access by a destination or source application (110). If the application (110) is authorized for access, the method checks (508, 558) if the application (110) is authorized for unencrypted access; and if so, allowing unencrypted file access.
