EFS in Target Designer

[Perro Flaco]

Hi everybody!

I'm working in my OS image, and I would like to do the following. It's
very important to us to encrypt some specific directories, not using
the cypher command in the run-time image, but using the Target
Designer. I mean, I want to encrypt some directories that I'll copy in
the run-time image before the FBA starts, so I have all the files
protected when the operating system has started (doing in this way, I
won't have to run commands like cypher, because all is already
protected). I want to do something like this:

1. Develop the operating system using the Target Designer.
2. In the Target designer, mark the directories that I want to encrypt.
3. Run the dependency analysis and so on.
4. Run the FBA.
5. After the FBA, I'll have all the directories that I marked in the
Target Designer protected, and every new file that I copy into those
directories will be protected too.

Is it possible? Has anybody done something like this? Any advice would
be great!

Thanks in advanced!

Hi,

There is no such option available from MS and TD you can make a feature request to product team.

PS: If you can describe manual procedure that you do now, then we could help you with incorporating that in your component that will
be executed during the FBA.
