[FDE] Momentus FDE and simple PBE for Linux

[Jeff Johnson]

Greetings,

    Has anyone (corp or open-source effort) developed a simple preboot
environment for use with the Seagate Momentus FDE drives?

    I have only found one that claims Linux support and it is anything
but simple. Many people who would benefit from the FDE drives are
individuals, freelancers or sole-proprietors. Nearly all of the options
I have seen come as a part of an enterprise-wide key management scheme.

    A company called ENova had hardware FDE that used an external key
fob that attached via a modified USB port.

    Does a simple bios/EFI level or single user PBE that works with
Linux exist?

Thanks,

Jeff
