Re: Disk encryption may not be secure enough

Question:

would encrpting the Paging File prior to shut-down/deletion be of any help to twart this ?

no, that does nothing for the RAM which is the attack vector. Similarly if you were to over write RAM on (graceful) shutdown, that doesn't help the case where the system is simply powered off forcibly.
