That was my understanding as well.

However, it's important to note that encrypting files on a host is more for
the customers' psychological assurance than anything else. The two attributes
you need to break any sort of encryption routine are lots of samples and the
capacity to take a lot of tries. You intrinsically have both of those
conditions with host-encrypted files.

The primary thing that host-encrypted files provide you is with is some
assurance that casual employees aren't going to be reading customer files
while just randomly walking around the discs.
