What is a .enc file
The ENC file extension is employed in saving files that have been encoded using the UUE format.
The encoded files are often encoded by specific applications such as Adobe Flash or IBM Lotus 1-2-3. Encoding is done in order to protect a file from being accessed and opened by unauthorized users.
ENC files are considered a UUEncoded and a compressed file. The format is comprised of binary which could be sent via email and may be posted in newsgroups like Usenet.
This format employs a binary-to-text encoding which is technically referred to as UUEncoding. The term has been derived from the UNIX-to-UNIX encoding.
The compressed files of this format are capable of undoing the outcome of the UUEncode command. This involves recreating the file with the ENC extension to its true or original form.
