The purpose of this standard is to describe a method of encryption for data stored in sector-based devices where the threat model includes possible access to stored data by the adversary. The standard specifies the encryption transform and a method for exporting/importing encryption keys for compatibility between different implementations. Encryption of data in transit is not covered by this standard.
