Saqib,

Excellent write up and summary of the technology out there. I'm curious
what your thoughts on Segate's new integrated drive encryption are, but
have a question about your statement regarding AES-128. It was my
understanding that AES-128 met NSA encryption standards, and thus a
stolen data that was encrypted using AES-128 didn't have to be reported
as stolen due to the inability to crack the key.

Thanks again for the excellent write up.
