Re: Laptop - Full Disk Encryption?

[Johnny Wong <johnnywkm () gmail com>]

Hello there,

This topic was discussed in this list before. There are a couple out 
there like Safeboot (acquired by McAfee), PGP, Pointsec, Ultimaco, SecureDoc.

You have rightly pointed out that key/password management is more 
important than the encryption method deployed (most products support 
AES anyway).
