Standard hard disks are any 3.5 or 2.5 inch IDE, SATA, or PATA disks that do not include a hardware encryption chip.
With standard hard disks, ZENworks Full Disk Encryption provides sector-based encryption of the entire disk or selected volumes (partitions). All files on a volume are encrypted, including any temporary files, swap files, or operating system files. Because all files are encrypted, the data cannot be accessed when booting the computer from external media such as a CD-ROM, floppy disk, or USB drive.
You can choose the industry-standard encryption algorithm (AES, Blowfish, DES, or DESX) and key length that best meets your organizations requirements.
NOTE:The cryptographic module used in ZENworks Full Disk Encryption to encrypt standard hard drives is not Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certified. However, the cryptographic module implements standards consistent with FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification.
