-One way in which sensitive data can be protected is by only storing it on encrypted disk volumes. Currently, of the cluster disk volumes, only /home1, /home6, and /scratch are encrypted by default (i.e. all the data is encrypted before being written to disk and decrypted when read). (This is also known as encryption "at rest".) This encryption protects against the server being stolen, or being improperly disposed of (with the disks and data intact) at some point in the future. The backup volumes to which the data on /home1 and /home6 are copied are also encrypted.+One way in which sensitive data can be protected is by only storing it on encrypted disk volumes.

 If you have a project that includes the use of sensitive data please talk to the system administrators to see whether you should store that data on /home1, /home6, or have your entire home directory moved to an encrypted volume. If you have a project that includes the use of sensitive data please talk to the system administrators to see whether you should store that data on /home1, /home6, or have your entire home directory moved to an encrypted volume.
