Encryption is very important for keeping university file systems safe, but it also brings some big challenges:

1. Slower Access:

   • Encrypting and decrypting files can make it take longer to access them, which can slow down work.

2. Hard to Manage:

   • Managing the keys used for encryption can be complicated. If keys are not handled properly, it could lead to unauthorized access.

3. User Pushback:

   • When universities start using encryption, some users might resist it because they are not used to following security rules.

4. Risk of Losing Data:

   • If encryption is done incorrectly, there is a danger of losing important data forever if the keys are lost.

To handle these challenges, universities can focus on educating users, set up effective key management systems, and use encryption tools that won’t slow things down too much.
