Re: Product request - Enterprise whole disk encryption for laptops

[David Morton <dmorton () U WASHINGTON EDU>]

While not whole disk encryption, we are in the process of looking at
TrueCrypt (www.truecrypt.org) as a solution of encrypting volumes of
data on laptops. True Crypt allows for key recovery and some other
nice features.

Does anyone have experience using True Crypt in a major way?

Thanks

David
