'''Filesystem-level encryption''',<ref>{{Cite web |title=File-Level Encryption |url=https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/glossary/file-level-encryption/ |access-date=2024-10-18 |website=PCI Security Standards Council |language=en-US}}</ref>, often called '''file-based encryption''', '''FBE''', or '''file/folder encryption''', is a form of [[disk encryption]] where individual files or directories are [[encryption|encrypted]] by the [[file system]] itself.
 
This is in contrast to the [[full disk encryption]] where the entire partition or disk, in which the file system resides, is encrypted.
