Endpoint Encryption

is there any way to decrypt a file from an old system that used "Symantec Endpoint Encryption" while knowing the password ? The file comes from a backup of an old system that no longer exists. 

What options do I have, short of installing and configuring a full encrypted system ? I have the file, I know the password... I want my data back! :D 

header looks like this 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

<GETEncryptedDataFile version="x.x.x">

You would need the software to do this. I don't think it's possible to use anything else but the application used to encrypt it in the first place.

there is no "decrypt only" tool available ? that's a shame... could be usefull not just for my case but for "encrypted file exchange"... 

Have a look here, but not sure if it's going to be of any help:

They are mentioning Symantec Drive Encryption...not sure if it will work with what you have now. Comes with Encryption Desktop.

like most of the resources i found the one above mentioned discusses the decryption of a drive... in my case is a single file... 

i guess i'll have to setup a new virtual machine and then install the full Symantec Encryption suite... pain in the *&^%$# for a single file....

Yes, unfortunately that's the only way to go.

is there any virtual image (parallells?) that can be downloaded for a painless experience?

Virtual image for? Not sure what OS you're running on your desktop, but if you need to virtualise the PC in question, you'd just get hold of a trial version of what desktop virtualisation player you have and install it. If you're talking about running a VM for the SEE, then it should be possible to

I was thinking of a "ready made" SEE VM that i can just load in Parallels, decrypt my file and then remove the VM.... So I wouldnt need to go trhough the pain of installing evertying from scratch... (just looking for shortcuts) :D
 

No, I've never seen that. I suspect you mean an appliance which they don't have available for download on their site.

or a 3rd party build, i dont mind... :D 

if i end up building one, i might do someone a favor an share it (if doesn't break any t&c)
