Residual Data is data that is unintentionally left behind on computer media. In forensic usage, remnant data is typically left behind after attempts have been made to delete the data, after the data has been forgotten, or after the media on which the data resides has been decomissioned.

GBDE - GEOM Based Disk Encryption - is a FreeBSD block device-layer disk encryption that uses 128-bit AES designed and implemented by Poul-Henning Kamp and Network Associates Inc.

A more efficient implementation of FreeBSD GEOM based Disk Encryption - GELI was later written later by Pawel Jakub Dawidek.
