"We call encryption software working with volumes Volume Encryption
software. Note that if Volume Encryption software encrypts a volume
consisting of a single partition, for the user it will give the same
result as Partition Encryption software. If a single partition occupies
the whole hard drive, Volume Encryption will be equal both to Whole
Disk Encryption and Partition Encryption. Encrypting of basic partition
C: on Figure 3 below illustrates that."

I see. So now you believe you're smarter than all the encryption
and cryptanalysis experts that ever lived, combined.

You've already had your ears boxed with one cite you couldn't even find
the courage to reply to. Care to try for some more?

"Volume Encryption software works with volume as with a single portion
of data. Volume is always in one of the two definite states: if
password is not entered, the whole volume is not accessible. If the
user enters the proper password and opens the volume, all its parts,
even stored on different hard drives, become accessible. In our
opinion, working with volumes is more native both for the user and
computer, because it is a volume that stores a complete filesystem
structure and a complete tree of the user's files. As in the modern
world single volume stores data scattered on a number of physical
disks, it is more convenient and safe to manage a volume, rather than
work with every physical drive separately."
