Encryption

Data is changed by encryption in such a way that access is only possible with knowledge of a specific decryption (or decoding, decipherment). Decryption is often linked to knowledge of a password. The effectiveness of encryption depends, among other things, on how difficult it is to read the data if such a password is unknown.

Common encryptions:

• BitLocker
• TrueCrypt
• VeraCrypt
• TrustedDisk
