    If I understand on-the-fly-encryption correctly, I assume that
    information I read or write to a remote encrypted file container will
    be protected since cryptographic operations are performed in RAM on my
    local machine. Is this correct? Is there any need for encryption
    services for the actual network connection beyond the scope of
    authentication?

    Plainly, is my data safe (confidential) when it travels to and from my
    local machine when I access an encrypted partition on another machine
    through the Internet?

    ADVthanksANCE
