Encryption Layer In Storage Stack
There is a plurality of terms that are used to describe implementations of disk encryption: on-the-fly encryption (OTFE); full disk encryption (FDE), whole disk encryption; filesystem-level encryption, encrypted filesystem, cryptographic filesystem, etc. All of them refer to an encryption layer in the storage stack. This article describes these techniques and explains their pros and cons. This article does not reference any software or hardware implementing these techniques (see disk encryption software and hardware), and it does not describe cryptographic theory behind it (see disk encryption theory).

“The writer in me can look as far as an African-American woman and stop. Often that writer looks through the African-American woman. Race is a layer of being, but not a culmination.”
—Thylias Moss, African American poet. As quoted in the Wall Street Journal (May 12, 1994)
“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““Farewell to barn and stack and tree,
Farewell to Severn shore.
Terence, look your last at me,
For I come home no more.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
