The laptop and the passphrase are in the same laptop bag, which is stolen. Game Over. That is why a good law will require that the key not be lost, and (more generally) will set a key management floor, as well as specifying which encryption methods are approved, and saying that encryption is safe harbor only for instances of physical theft of the device. No current state laws do these things, IIRC. Only one of them even *defines* encryption, and they (Nevada) do it horribly wrong. On Feb 13, 2007, at 7:50 AM, security curmudgeon wrote:
For the sake of argument, I'll disagree here. That said, can you describe a scenario other than what I described above as a viable way to get to the client data on my laptop?
