RE: File encryption

[Marty <mortfromork () videotron ca>]

Hi,

We want to make sure that if the laptop is stolen and the
encryption is broken that we have an extra layer of
protection. The password can be guessed or acquired from
social engineering (from my point of view), thus the risk.



Marty!

I want to know why you want to add one more layer of file
security. If your Hard disk are already encrypted then with
a strong encryption then you don't need the extra

I recommend you use PGP disk ecnryption.
It has whole disk enceyption as well as it can create files
that Can act as drives and are assissable using a drive
letters.

Type one password and you can access the files just like on
hard disk Not exactly transpertnt but almost there and very
good product with Exceptional support.
