Re: Windows Encryption Utilities

[Gary Dobbins <dobbins () ND EDU>]

There's a commercial product from Utimaco which will encrypt an entire
drive and provides for key escrow procedures.  This company has supplied
versions of its products to Lenovo for inclusion on ThinkPads, and we
believe they may be planning to integrat the disk-encryption password
with the Lenovo laptops' fingerprint readers.  Such a combination would
provide whole-disk crypto with relatively convenient means of unlocking
it at each work session.

(this is not in any way an official endorsement, just an FYI about a
product of which I've become aware)
