Section 2. Security the Manual Way

Rather than intersplicing the two or three different ways of securing files, communications, wireless, or email within each section of the balance of this Short Cut, this section will address the standard manual method of encryption all at once, and very briefly. The goal is not to educate you on how to do security the manual way—rather, by describing the manual process, it will make the automated processes, assisted by Windows 2003 autoenrollment of certificates, much clearer. Those who want to jump right in to the certificate-based autoenrollment method of encryption can skip this section and proceed directly to the "Installing a Windows Certificate of Authority Server" section.
