encrypt .aspx file

[Loane Sharp]

Hi there

Is it possible, as an added (fairly paranoid) security measure, to encrypt
the content of, say, an .aspx file on the server?

Best regards
Loane

Hi Loane:

No, not an aspx file. The file has to be plaintext for the runtime to
parse.

If you use SSL, the content will be automatically encrypted to-from server
and client to protect data from being trapped while traveling over the wire.
However, Windows XP Pro. and Windows Server 2003 has a new sub-system
(bundled with the OS) called "Encryption File System (EFS)" that can do this
for you:

FFS for W2k3:
