Entropy in disk encryption is the "random information" collected by an computers OS or encryption application for use in encrypting a hard disk. Those with more knowledge in encryption: could you please give an explanation of how "a large amount" of entropy can be generated during disk encryption? I've only ever used/seen keyboard/mouse input as a way to generate it in encryption tools. I would guess for the "average smart thief" (What is an average smart thief?) that is sufficient? Something I've also looked for an answer for is: Using those mouse/keyboard inputs as entropy generators, whats the best approach to use? Is there one? thanks, Bernard On 4 Apr 2013, at 07:58, Eugen Leitl wrote: > You didn't mention your operating system, but in terms of least > pain I would go with http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads and > encrypt the whole drive.
