Specifying Encryption and Decryption Options at the Template Level
You can define specific file-based encryption and decryption PGP keys for users assigned to a template. When files are encrypted, they are stored on a user’s drive in a format that cannot be read outside of ActiveTransfer. Encrypted files are decrypted only if they are transferred back through ActiveTransfer using the same key that was used to encrypt them.
You can override the template-level encryption and decryption options for a specific user. For more information, see
Specifying Encryption and Decryption Options
for a User.
