Hardware Encryption Market Expected to Reach $296.4bn by 2020

A new report by Allied Market Research forecasts that the world hardware encryption market is to show a CAGR of 54.6% from 2010- 2020 and be worth just over $296 billion.

The World Hardware Encryption—Market Opportunities and Forecasts, 2014–2020 report proposes that hardware encryption is considered as the most effective form of data protection against unauthorized access, aligning with the actions of various governments across the globe who are coming out with stringent regulations pertaining to data protection. This is seen as a key development that further supplements the demand of hardware encryption as a key data security technology.

The hard disk drives (HDD) segment was found to be the highest revenue generating segment, constituting 57% of the total market revenue in 2014 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the analysis period. The segment of encrypted USB flash drives is forecast to grow significantly and register highest CAGR of 58.8% during the forecast period. The increasing demands of robust memory storage devices that are highly compact, offer maximum storage and render better security of data are key factors, which would drive the growth of this segment.

Looking at regions and vertical industries, Asia-Pacific was revealed to be the largest revenue generating region for hardware encryption, followed by North America and Europe, as is set to be the highest revenue generating region, constituting nearly 33.5% of the total market revenue. The region is also likely to registering a CAGR of 56.9% during the forecast period, supplemented by factors such as strong economic growth, development in enterprise IT infrastructure and the large scale outsourcing of BPO operations to China, India and Malaysia.

Docker Doubles Down on Security With Nautilus, Hardware Encryption

BARCELONA, Spain—As Docker container adoption grows, so too does the need for robust security. Today at the DockerCon EU conference here, Docker announced several new security-focused efforts, building on existing security that Docker has been pushing this year.
During the opening two-hour general keynote session, Docker founder Solomon Hykes emphasized that developers do care about security, but it's important that security is actually usable.

"You can give developers the most secure tools in the world, but if the tools get in the way, they won't use it and the result is unusable security, which is really not security at all," Hykes said. "By providing usable security tools, we can move the needle on improving security for everyone."
Docker's foray into security tools got its first big push in August, when Docker Content Trust debuted alongside the Docker 1.8.0 release. Docker Content Trust makes use of the open-source Notary project, which aims to enable secure updating by way of authenticated and signed application images.

Part of the Content Trust approach relies on encryption keys, which are now being hardened further. Hykes announced new experimental support for hardware encryption with Yubico USB keys. Going a step further, Hykes and Docker actually gave all attendees of the DockerCon EU keynote their own key.

In an interview with eWEEK, Nathan McCauley, director of security at Docker, explained that the Yubico technology is all about hardware encryption and not so much about two-factor authentication. Yubico builds USB keys that are compliant with the FIDO Alliance Universal Second Factor (U2F) specification. The Yubico key Docker uses is a hardware-encrypted token that never reveals the private root encryption key that is used to sign an application image.
The hardware encryption support is currently in the experimental branch of Docker, and it could land in the Docker 1.10 release later this year or early 2016, according to McCauley.

Windows 10: Enabling BitLocker hardware encryption fails with November update

Windows users seem to be experiencing an issue with enabling BitLocker hardware encryption after updating to their system to November update, which Microsoft is calling its major update to Windows 10 that brings version 1511, build 10586. This happens with the clean installation of the November update.

Windows BitLocker drive encryption is a security feature that Microsoft claims provides better data protection for your PC by encrypting the data stored on your Windows operating system volume. BitLocker uses Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to protect Windows OS and data as well as ensures the computer is not tampered with even when it is lost. The TPM is a microchip built into the computer and used to store information including encryption keys.

You can use BitLocker without a TPM, for which you need to change the default behaviour of the BitLocker setup wizard by using Group Policy, or configure BitLocker. When you are using BitLocker without TPM, the encryption keys are stored on a USB flash drive.

BitLocker encryption issue with November Update

According to a user, nesoi, who has reported this on the Microsoft TechNet forum, the BitLocker encryption worked fine before the update. It even works with Windows 10 build 10240, which is the RTM build, released prior to the November update.
