Windows XP performs file encryption using reparse points. The file is piped through the Encrypting File System filter, which does all of the encryption and decryption.Windows XP allows an application to ignore a reparse point and access the file directly.Does this compromise the security of encrypted data?Why or why not?

What will be an ideal response?

The encrypted file would be safe. An application that bypassed the reparse point
would read a string of garbled data. It would not be able to decrypt it without the password.
