+**Persistent-storage freshness and availability.** Disk encryption protects the confidentiality of data at rest and detects unauthorized modification within the cryptographic/filesystem mechanisms in use. It does not prove that an attached disk represents the latest application state. An infrastructure operator can withhold, delete, replace, or restore an earlier valid encrypted disk image. Applications that require rollback-resistant state must anchor a monotonic version or state commitment in an external trusted service, ledger, or equivalent freshness mechanism.
