Your best bet should be to get PGP Whole Disk Encryption, though it is Software based but there are no backdoors like in h/w products. ----- Original Message ----- From: <forensics () slickwillies net> To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2005 12:15 AM Subject: Hardware Encryption
Does anyone know if any devices exist to encrypt entire hard disks and
allow the user to set the password for the encryption? I have seen modules that can be plugged into IDE hard drives (and USB external hard drive enclosures) that allow for "transparent" hard drive encryption (all data encrypted) but none of them allow the user to set the password(key). They all seem to come with a "preset" key from the manufacturer. The key is a token device that plugs into the enclosure/module. I am looking for a device that would allow the user to set the token himself.
Thanks, WILLIE
