Re: Linux Managed Full Disk Encryption

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Hi JR,

The Information Security Guide's "Introduction to Full Disk Encryption" 
(https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/itsg2/Full+Disk+Encryption) notes that PGP Whole Disk Encryption can be 
used with Windows, Mac, and Linux: 
https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/itsg2/Full+Disk+Encryption#FullDiskEncryption-Choosing. At this time, we 
don't have any campus case studies about using PGP and Linux, but others on the list might have recommendations.

A related resource is the Encryption 101 page: https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/itsg2/Encryption+101

Thank you,
Valerie

Subject: [SECURITY] Linux Managed Full Disk Encryption


Hi All,

My institution is having issues with WinMagic’s SecureDoc full disk encryption solution.  While the product works for 
Windows and Macs, we are having difficulties making the product work on Linux machines.

 I’d like to know if someone else has successfully implemented a centrally managed full disk encryption solution for 
Linux.



Thanks
