Re: [unisog] OT: Putting Encyption Functions in the HDDs

[Neksus <neksus () gmail com>]

Regarding those encrypted hard drives...

I know it might be early to ask, but anyone tried them in a corporate
environment? I'm curious to know how a global key management can be
achieved? What if someone leaves and does't disclose their password,
etc.

I guess those drives must be tightly integrated with the laptop
itself? Via some sort of trusted computing controler? If so, what
laptop vendors do support this? Probably IBM... but how about others?
Passwords are not too safe so how about smart card support? How does
that work? Again probably very integrated with the laptop.

Anyone had a chance to "play" with those drives in a real world environment?
Many thanks!
