ViPNet Safe Disk is a commercial disk encryption software produced by Infotecs Company for Windows OS. Safe Disk has a long history: it was developed in 2002, but before that, it existed as a constituent part of ViPNet VPN solutions.
Safe Disk principle of operation is as follows: It creates virtual encrypted drives – so-called containers, where the user can store the sensitive data on his desktop or laptop. Containers are visible as standard disk volumes. Encryption process is transparent and automated: data is automatically encrypted, when the container is mounted and decrypted, when the user writes or reads the data respectively.
