Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for partially encrypting one or more portions of an electronic file and decrypting the partially encrypted file. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method partially encrypts an electronic file. The method identifies one or more portions of the electronic file to be encrypted. The one or more portions are identified based on metadata in the electronic file that designate the one or more portions to be encrypted. The method encrypts the identified one or more portions of the electronic file using encryption software.
