Disk encryption is a special case of data at rest protection when the storage media is a sector-addressable device (e.g., a hard disk). This book presents cryptographic aspects of the problem and different software packages and hardware devices devoted to this problem like disk encryption software and disk encryption hardware. This book is your ultimate resource for Disk Encryption. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know. In easy to read chapters, with extensive references and links to get you to know all there is to know about Disk Encryption right away, covering: Disk encryption theory, Aloaha, BestCrypt, BitLocker Drive Encryption, Cold boot attack, Comparison of disk encryption software, Comparison of encrypted external drives, Cryptmount, Disk encryption, Disk encryption hardware, Disk encryption software, DiskCryptor, Dm-crypt, E4M, ECryptfs, EncFS, Encryption layer in storage stack, Filesystem-level encryption, FileVault, FreeOTFE, GBDE, Geli (software), Hardware-based full disk encryption, IEEE P1619, Linux Unified Key Setup, List of cryptographic file systems, On-the-fly encryption, PGPDisk, Private Disk, Scramdisk, Sentry 2020, Transparent Data Encryption, TrueCrypt, Trusted Storage specification, United States v.
