Talk:On-the-fly encryption

Merging with Disk encryption software
This is a parenthesis with delusions of article-ness. Merge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.233.116.211 (talk) 23:40, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Disagree. This is a technology, a feature of products, not a product, nor is it a disk encryption software.-- KelvinHO Wiknerd ( talk ) 06:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Added merge to disk encryption
I have re-added the merge tag pointing to disk encryption instead. Every disk encryption solution does on-the-fly encryption as its primary function. OTFE is almost synonymous with "disk encryption". Yet the term "on-the-fly encryption" is used quite rarely, so keeping it as a separate article makes the information much harder to find. Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAICT the term was invented by FreeOTFE developers and no other disk encryption vendors even use it. -- intgr [talk] 15:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree, OTFE is only used by the FreeOTFE developer. the disk encryption article could mention the difference between OTFE and file encryption Squte (talk) 19:27, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
