It also leaves a cleartext file on the hard disk once the file is unencrypted. This is bad. There was a macintosh utility called SecureDrive that filled the bill. It used a large encrypted file to hold a 2048 bit hashed hard disk image, and alllowed the user to enter a passphrase to mount the cleartext disk image as a RAMdisk, i.e., something that would vanish if the power was pulled. Perhaps a search for a PC version is in order. We would need full 2048 bit encryption. The 128 bit ITAR compliant crap that the NSA pushes can be battered down with a beowulf cluster.
