Does it support encrypted partition / file system?
PD SDK will create a virtual partition which is treated by the OS as a regular partition; but all the data on that partition are transparently encrypted with AES 256-bit. Windows’ NTFS encryption (EFS) is not used, though one can enable this option for the NTFS partition stored in an encrypted image. Encryption algorithms (e.g., AES, 3DES, Blowfish, Safer++, RC4, etc). PD SDK applies Dekart’s NIST-certified implementation of AES 256-bit; the hashing algorithm applied within the SDK, SHA-512, is also NIST-certified. [More details: why Dekart chose AES encryption] Performance The performance of virtual encrypted drives created by the aid of PD SDK is equal to the performance of virtual drives created by disk encryption program, Private Disk; except the cases in which the custom application performs other operations which are not carried out by Private Disk.
