“VPDisk.com, Inc., the creator of Virtual Private Disk
technologies, makes the Personal-Lite Edition of its Virtual
Private Disk product free to the Linux community.”

Virtual Private Disk is a security product that uses
encryption to plug an inherent security flaw in modern operating
systems.
Files remain encrypted on the disk, and can be read
only by authorized persons through the Virtual Private Disk
product.”

“This inherent security flaw means everyone, including a company
CEO, must trust the operator when they store confidential
information on disk. Virtual Private Disk, best known for its
simplicity, transparency, and flexibility, stops the security flaw
in the kernel by making sensitive files unintelligible while
allowing operators to administer the file system.”
