= Disk encryption technology comparison
To understand the merits of Network-Bound Disk Encryption (NBDE) for securing data at rest on edge servers, compare key escrow and TPM disk encryption without Clevis to NBDE on systems running {op-system-base-full}.
The following table presents some tradeoffs to consider around the threat model and the complexity of each encryption solution.
