Is file* data encrypted on-disk? |
Is non-file data encrypted on disk? |
Is data encrypted over the network? |
SharePoint |
No** |

Groove 2007 |

Shared Folder |

* This includes files in the Documents and Files tools, as well as file attachments in all other tools.
** On-disk data can be encrypted using the Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption.
*** Data sent over the network between the SharePoint Workspace and the SharePoint servers can be encrypted using SSL, configurable by the server administrator.
On a related note, SharePoint Workspace 2010 supports all three authentication flavors available in SharePoint Server 2010: Single Sign-On, Forms-Based Authentication, and Claims-Based Authentication. You can go here to see Paul Cannon’s post on Single Sign-on.
