On top of which, cryptography and its effects on disk recovery is a real
issue. On the one hand, if the disk needs to be sent out for recovery

your bits and bytes barefoot. On the other hand, having "meaningful"
results to find when said Stranger is recovering those bits and bytes
makes his work simpler.
