Disk Encryption Software
Disk encryption is a computer security technique. It is used to protect the secrecy of the data stored in a computer disk. The data stored in a computer’s mass storage is encrypted by a particular type of software. When an authorized user requests it, it is made available by the software. Theses encryption software systems are particularly suited to laptop computers and thumb drives and other such portable devices. The main features of Disk Encryption Software are hidden containers, pre-boot authentication, custom authentication, multiple keys, pass phrase strengthening, and hardware acceleration.
