What does Content Protection mean in practical terms?
Hi,
I have yet to find a post that explains to me what Content Protection actually means, except that it "encrypts data".
Could someone please tell me what it means in real terms?
Who would need encryption?
In what way does encryption protect data? ... how, and when (in what situations) is it most effective?
Why would it be needed if a simple password requirment will wipe the device upon exceeded password attempts, anyway?...does it change the way in which data is wiped after exceeded password attempts?
How would it thwart data access attempts from a regular type thief as opposed to someone specifically looking to target data extraction?
I have a lot of private data on my device, and I am trying to decide if using protection is worth the extra startup time, etc.
Thanks!
Looking for more specifics
Thanks, Reed, for your response.
If anyone would like to take a stab at my question, I am looking, more specifically, to answers to my posted questions.
Thanks.
