[FDE] FDE Digest, Vol 2, Issue 8

[Ryan Booton]

You may also want to consider getting something with
FIPS or Common Criteria certification.  I'm pretty
sure Seagates new drives don't have either of these,
and they are only AES 128 bit.  I've tested quite a
few encryption products (for Windows) and was real
impressed with Pointsec, which also works on Linux.  

This is kind of off topic but I think it's the only
product around that offers an add-on that allows you
to enforce a policy for all users that will encrypt
everything that goes on to external media as well,
while at the same time allow encrypted files to be
shared with others who don't have Pointsec.  

It seems leap years ahead of the other products that
I've tested.  (Utamaco Safeguard Easy, PCGuardian
which is now Guardian Edge, Winmagic SecureDoc)
Without a doubt it's the most flexible in customizing
policies and configuration options.
