The swapBuffers minifilter demonstrates how to switch buffers between reads and writes of data. This technique is particularly useful for encryption filters because they have to encrypt data before writing it to disk and decrypt it after reading it from disk. Because encryption/decryption has to be done transparently, you cannot use system-supplied buffers directly, so intermediate buffers have to be introduced. | |
