Full disk encryption is the process of securing the whole data stored on a disk by encryption. The data stored in the disk is automatically encrypted to a form that anyone can not understand the data without decrypting. To access the data, the user needs the key to decrypt the data. The data can not be accessed even if the disk is removed from the computer and put on another computer. There is no need of focusing on the encryption and decryption. When data is written to the disk, it is automatically encrypted and when data is read, it is automatically decrypted, only for authenticated user.
