The image above (Figure one) shows the text file RandyBoyle.txt
The image above (Figure two) shows the License text file that I copied from the security folder
to the newly created Q drive
The image above (Figure three) shows the RandyBoyle text file that has now become 20,480KB
(20MB) from 0 KB
Summary
The first image shows the RandyBoyle.txt file before applying the encryption algorithm.
In the second image, the License text file has been copied to a new and safe Q drive that was just
created. The third picture shows the RandyBoyle.txt file created, but the current file size of the
RandyBoyle.txt file is 20 MB, proving that the file has been encrypted and saved in the virtual
drive. I had no difficulty while working on this project. Using VeraCrypt, I created a fully
encrypted, mountable virtual drive from a file on my existing C: drive. This virtual drive tended
to have a drag-and-drop capability, and it was easy to use, and I did not encounter any challenges
in the project. When the files have been copied to the encrypted drive, all that one has to do is
dismount the drive, and it becomes just a normal file until it is required again.
