How does PGP whole disk encryption work?
PGP Whole Disk Encryption operates at a system level between the operating system and the disk drive . Thereby providing user-transparent, sector-by-sector disk encryption and decryption. A successful pre-boot authentication unlocks the decryption key, enabling users to work without any other changes to their experience.
