Description:

Welcome to my PowerShell tutorial on protecting confidential data through encryption and secure handling! In this video, I’ll walk you through a practical lab exercise demonstrating how to safeguard sensitive information using PowerShell. I will cover:

Steps Covered:

1. Create the Lab Directory: Setting up a secure directory to store your files.
2. Create and View Sensitive Data: Crafting a sample text file with sensitive information (“Jermaine Forbes is actually Thor, the strongest Avenger”) and viewing its content.
3. Encrypt the Sensitive Data: Encrypting the file using a 256-bit key and saving the key and IV for decryption.
4. Decrypt the Sensitive Data: Using the stored key and IV to decrypt the encrypted file and verify its content.
5. Securely Handle Data in Memory: Managing sensitive data securely in memory with SecureString to prevent unauthorized access.
6. Clean Up: Removing all created files to maintain a tidy environment.

Key Commands:

• New-Item
• Set-Content
• Get-Content
• System.Security.Cryptography.AesManaged
• ConvertTo-SecureString
• ConvertFrom-SecureString
