Device Encryption
What is encryption? Why do I need it? Encryption is the process of encoding information so that only authorized persons can read it. It is used to protect confidential and legally protected data. In this case, "legally protected" has real and serious meaning. If an unencrypted laptop, tablet, mobile phone or other device is lost or stolen, and if it contained legally protected information, you or the University might be held liable for damages, you could be sent to prison, or the University could take corrective action against you.
