Security

Encryption

Log in passwords are normally used used to provide security in computer operating systems.

Operating systems can now be run from live CDs, DVDs and USB drives. These can bypass log in passwords, making existing security measures ineffective.

With most Linux distributions you can set up an encrypted home directory for personal files, and keep them secure.
