Like with any industry, the information security industry, more commonly
referred to as “cybersecurity,” for all its raging debates, has rallied
around a small corpus of best practices.

One of the highest on this list is full-disk encryption, which security
experts regard as sacrosanct, a no-brainer that everyone should use at
the barest of minimums. This is the encryption that ensures that someone
who snatches your device won’t be able to know everything you’ve got
saved on it.

I’m here to make the case that most of you are better off not using it.
I know this might sound crazy, since I’m kind of the security guy here,
but hear me out.
