How Whole Disk Encryption Works

If you're using a computer or a removable USB drive, chances are that you have sensitive data on it. Whether it's your home computer with family finances, your work computer with sensitive corporate information, or a thumb drive with government secrets, you want to make sure the data doesn't get compromised if the device is lost or is stolen. Whole disk (also known as full disk) encryption protects this data, rendering it unreadable to unauthorized users.
