Line 1: To protect confidentiality of the data stored on a computer disk a [[computer security]] technique called [[disk encryption]] is used. This article discusses ~~'''~~software~~'''~~ which is used to implement the technique (for cryptographic aspects of the problem see [[disk encryption]]). Compared to access restrictions commonly enforced by an [[operating system\|OS]] this technique allows to protect data even when the OS is not active, for example, if data is read directly from the hardware. Such software [[encryption\|encrypts]] data stored on a computer's [[mass storage]] and transparently decrypts the information when an authorized user requests it: no special action by the user (except supplying a [[password]] or [[passphrase]] at the beginning of a session) is required. Some also provide [[plausible deniability]] with [[deniable encryption]] techniques.
