Cross-platform access of encrypted disk images and/or files
Hi,
I'll soon be doing work that requires an app that runs only under Windows, and this work will require the use of sensitive files. I'm wondering if I stored the sensitive files in an OS X encrypted disk image if there's any way that I could access these files from a Windows machine on the same network as my Mac. Considering that my Mac would authenticate me when I connected from the Windows machine, I'm wondering if this would unlock the OS X encrypted disk image, allowing access to the files in the encrypted image from the Windows machine.
I haven't tried any experiments yet, but if anyone else has, I'd be interested in knowing if this will work, or if there's any way to make it work.
Thanks,
Ken
