[FDE] Best FDE-Product

[Bryan Glancey]

I'll be forced to politely disagree with Simon, as we have been able to
do Linux and make it small and fast. 

 Of Course this fixes all of the device driver and network connection
issues he mentions.

 It's amazing what can be done when we set our mind to it.

Of course since Simon hasn't implemented it like we have, the entire
last section is untrue and in accurate - But that is the experience that
comes with doing.

Regards;

Bryan

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.
