An authentication step and an encryption key are then required to unlock the information storage system and access the protected data.  <\/p><p><strong>Data encryption<\/strong> can be applied to the entire disk (including the boot sector), to file systems, or to volumes and blocks. There are two main categories of encryption mechanisms: <\/p><ul><li><strong>hardware encryption<\/strong>: the encryption protocol is implemented in the storage medium (hard disk, USB key, etc.) or integrated into a component such as the processor or motherboard.<\/li><li><strong>software encryption <\/strong>: encryption is provided by software such as BitLocker, integrated into Windows; VeraCrypt, developed from TrueCrypt; dm-crypt, integrated into the Linux kernel; and so on. They provide &#8220;on-the-fly encryption&#8221;, with data being encrypted and decrypted as it is read and written. <\/li><\/ul><p>Disk encryption used to <strong>protect your data<\/strong> must be distinguished from ransomware encryption, malware that encrypts your information in order to demand a ransom in exchange for the encryption key.
