Line 2: The advantages of filesystem-level encryption include: * flexible file-based [[key management~~]] and [[access control~~]], so that each file can and usually is encrypted with a separate encryption key * [[access control]] can be enforced through the use of [[public-key cryptography]], and▼ * individual file management e.g. incremental backups of just the changed files, rather than backup of the entire volume ▲* the use of [[public-key cryptography]], and * the fact that [[key (cryptography)\|cryptographic keys]] are only held in memory while the file that is decrypted by them is held open.
