---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Scott S <scott () u washington edu> Here is an exclusive interview we conducted with Dan Good, Vice President of marketing at Seagate, on the release of its new FDE drives. Some of the topics covered in the interview are the catalyst that lead to the development of the FDE solution, the FDE drive value proposition, and the FDE drive positioning against its competitions and along its collaborators. http://www.full-disk-encryption.net/seagate_interview.html
Anyone else spot this daft piece of promoting-security-by-obscurity-as-a-virtue? " We have hidden operation in the drive as well as hidden storage place that normally can't be accessed via ATA commands. So in a way we have a bit of a black box, in terms of a security device, that no one knows what is going on in there, and it is a perfect place to hide stuff. " I give it ten minutes after the drives hit the streets before it gets cracked. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
