Hi here's the situation: I need an EASY (or at least scriptable) way to encrypt/decrypt every single "sector" on a given storage device (flash drive, hard drive, floppy disk etc.pp.). Ideally that would be done using a boot disk (boot CD, flash, floppy...). Any suggestions on how to do that securely? Also, does anyone know of any good research paper on recovering (or prevention of recovery) of overwritten data on various kinds of storage media, i.e. which one is safer? magnetic vs. optical vs. electronic?
