System and methods for full disk encryption with a check for compatibility of the boot disk

A system of full disk encryption of a boot disk of a computer, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• perform one or more pre-boot compatibility tests on the boot disk of the computer, comprising determining whether a test booting has been performed;
• upon determining that the test booting has not been performed, perform the one or more pre-boot compatibility tests to boot an operating system of the computer, and indicate a successful booting of the operating system;
• upon determining that the test booting has been successfully performed, attempt to boot the operating system of the computer or perform the one or more pre-boot compatibility tests again;
• upon determining that the test booting has not been successfully performed, restore a process of ordinary booting of the operating system and perform an ordinary booting of the operating system;
• determine one or more encryption policies applicable to a pre-boot execution stage of the computer;
• compare results of the pre-boot compatibility tests with the encryption policies;
• determine whether to apply a full disk encryption to the boot disk based on an outcome of comparing the results of the pre-boot compatibility tests with the encryption policies;
• and
• when it is determined to apply the full disk encryption, apply the full disk encryption to the boot disk.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions for full disk encryption of a boot disk of a computer, including instructions for:

• performing one or more pre-boot compatibility tests on the boot disk of the computer, comprising determining whether a test booting has been performed;
• upon determining that the test booting has not been performed, performing the one or more pre-boot compatibility tests to boot an operating system of the computer, and indicating a successful booting of the operating system;
• upon determining that the test booting has been successfully performed, attempting to boot the operating system of the computer or performing the one or more pre-boot compatibility tests again;
• upon determining that the test booting has not been successfully performed, restoring a process of ordinary booting of the operating system and performing an ordinary booting of the operating system;
• determining one or more encryption policies applicable to a pre-boot execution stage of the computer;
• comparing results of the pre-boot compatibility tests with the encryption policies;
• determining whether to apply a full disk encryption to the boot disk based on an outcome of comparing the results of the pre-boot compatibility tests with the encryption policies;
• and
• when it is determined to apply the full disk encryption, applying the full disk encryption to the boot disk.
