What you'll do
One of the most important components of security is encryption.
- How can we protect data from being read or modified by unauthorized parties?
- Strong authentication and authorization can go a long way to helping, but at times our data will be out of our control and protecting it will be out of our hands.
- In times like that, strong encryption can help provide the assurances that we need.
- In this lab we will discuss tools and techniques for encrypting the data on your hard drive - that is, data at rest.
- This is especially important for laptops that might get stolen or desktops placed where untrusted people might be able to physically access them.
- ⏱ About 60 minutes
