Re: debian-user-digest Digest V2016 #417
Although encryption of the disk (as offered during installation) is a
good idea, it protects against loss of the system or disk while powered
down. It does not protect against unauthorized access to the running
system, and if the threat model includes that, zeroing (or better yet,
multiply overwriting with varying patterns and then zeroing) offers
protection that disk encryption does not.
Neither action protects against determined state equivalent actors or
malware implanted in the drive controller.
