For discussion of different software packages and hardware devices devoted to this problem see disk encryption software and disk encryption hardware.

Famous quotes containing the words disk and/or theory:
“Unloved, that beech will gather brown,
This maple burn itself away;
Unloved, the sun-flower, shining fair,
Ray round with flames her disk of seed,
And many a rose-carnation feed
With summer spice the humming air;”
