20.4. File encryption
Bitdefender File Encryption enables you to create encrypted, password-protected
logical drives (or vaults) on your computer where you can securely store your
confidential and sensitive documents. The data stored on the vaults can only be
accessed by users who know the password.
The password allows you to open, store data on and close a vault while maintaining
its security. While a vault is open, you can add new files, access current files or
change them.
Physically, the vault is a file stored on the local hard drive having the .bvd extension.
Although the physical files representing the vaulted drives can be accessed from a
different operating system (such as Linux), the information stored on them cannot
be read because it is encrypted.
File vaults can be managed from the Bitdefender window or by using the Windows
contextual menu and logical drive associated with the vault.
