I have again updated my proposal to protect partially encrypted volumes.  This update is more significant as it contains a shift in direction.  This proposal now allows the drive to be configured to require any appends to an encrypted volume to be encrypted instead of just forcing a SPOUT command.

Please note the change in direction.
