Is encryption the savior of data loss?
The loss of data, either by hacking or by the loss of a notebook, is so common today that we become so helpless because our privacy information must be handed over to governments, banks, chain stores etc.
Basing on the essay, "Full-Disk Encryption Is Partial Protection, Analysts Say", it seems that if those companies etc. will follow the guidance, we are safe even if our data would be taken by some bad guys.
I have checked about hacking, PC forensic, encryption for sometimes. What I know is that there is nothing safe. It depends on the skill of the bad guys and unfortunately most bad guys are experts. Certainly, encrypted data is better than without, at least, not easy to crack by anyone.
The simple truth is that if we are not the target, we are safe.
