question - what is the point of encryoting data on hard drives? answer - not much its all security theatre Let me make a feeble attempt at translating this one page article - If someone gets access to your hard drives or storage - then they probably already have access to your encryption keys via your operating system - ergo - it is pointless to go to the trouble of encrypting your storage devices Although - if someone drives a tank into your server farm and runs off (very slowly) with your hard drives - encryption might slow them down or make the hard drives useless -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
