Ideal to encrypt an entire computer /notebook/ partition or just a single Hard drive. With DCPP the Hard drive (including the operating system) is encrypted 100%, therefore unauthorized person will not be able to see even temporary files, installs software etc. DriveCrypt also allows to create a hidden operating system: By entering the correct password, the disks are open, if however you are forced to reveal a password, you could reveal a pre-configured "fake" password and the disk will open showing fake, prepared information.
