Many devices, such as music players, cameras, recorders, dictaphones, as well as books and diaries are now commonly found in digital form. Information related to these machines, such as your input or output is usually saved as files. Most of us keep these files on the hard disk drives of our computer, but nearly everyone at some point thinks about their protection.
