Regarding those encrypted hard drives... I know it might be early to ask, but anyone tried them in a corporate environment? I'm curious to know how a global key management can be achieved? What if someone leaves and does't disclose their password, etc. I guess those drives must be tightly integrated with the laptop itself? Via some sort of trusted computing controler? If so, what laptop vendors do support this? Probably IBM... but how about others? Passwords are not too safe so how about smart card support? How does that work? Again probably very integrated with the laptop. Anyone had a chance to "play" with those drives in a real world environment? Many thanks!
