[FDE] SECUDE FinallySecure for Momentus FDE and simple PBE for Linux

[Michael Jardine]

   Jeff,
   
   Our product, FinallySecure, has a simple single-user version that is (or
can be) bundled with the Seagate Momentus FDE drives. There is no additional
cost.  It features a Linux based pre-boot authentication that uses your
Windows username and password, which gives you a single sign-on to Windows.
It also has basic password recovery through an Emergency Recovery
Information file that can be saved to an external device such as a USB
stick.  It also allows you to re-authenticate after resuming from both
Standby and Hibernation.
   
   
   Regards,
   Michael

Subject: [FDE] Momentus FDE and simple PBE for Linux
   
   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
