The mentioned compression and encryption are for "hibernate" state. The hibernate-resume-file (most times stored in the swap-partion) can be compressed and / or encrypted with a extra pass-phrase.
Ah, okay. I think hibernating without encryption might leave data on the swap space? But I use suspend more often anyway.
If you hibernate your laptop and it is stolen in that state, the thieves have access to all your data. Even if your partitions are encrypted, they can read/write to them, as your session is active and the partition mounted. If the can not activate your system, they can remove the hardisk while unpowered, clone it, and read your entire memory which is stored in swap. Your opened documents can be in there. They might, perhaps, guess or even read your password Thus swap is encrypted too so to avid that posibility. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
