[FDE] Best FDE-Product

[SafeBoot Simon]

No, it's not linux based - we found Linux simply got too big when you
added all the stuff we needed. No, we don't load network drivers
(though we could) simply because we don't need them and to do so woud
open up exploits. Also, what drivers would you load anyway? There are
hundreds of different network cards.. Remember - we're trying to be
small and fast..

As for the dynamic RSA tokens - you probably realise they only work if
you have a network connection to an ACE server, so again, no. We
support things like the SID800 though which work stand alone.

Imagine how hard it would be to support a user with a RSA C/R token
working in a hotel over a VPN. We'd need a network stack, card
drivers, probably a WIFI stack, VPN, web browser (to allow them to
sign into the hotel wifi network) plus the ACE software - might as
well just let them load windows and use SafeBoot Content Encryption
instead.
