Hi All

I had been personally using Steganos Safe from www.steganos.com [based
on AES, with 256-bit-long codes] and this seems to giving pretty good
results to me.

They have also come out with Portable safe to safeguard data in the
drive sticks. One other feature in their latest version is you can
open the safe or the secure drive with your ActiveSync capable mobile
fone with Bluetooth

regards

Vijay

Secure Systems have a hardware solution called a Silicon Data
Vault(SDV). Laptop version is an encrypted hard drive, desktop version
is an expansion card that sits between the hard drive and the motherboard.

I have no detailed knowledge of Safe Boot or  the SDV so I don't know
how they compare, but I do know that the SDV does full disk encryption.

Anyone know how these two compare?

Hi,

I am looking for a solution to encrypt the hard drives which contain
confidential info. Ideally, this tool would be transparent and usable on all
the drives on the computer/laptop  (from c: to z:). Ideally it would be easy
to set up and manage, not a problem if the tool is not free. Any experience
on this? What algorithm(s) does it use?
Another option would be to use external encrypted drives to store the
info. What are the options here?

I am looking for some background information, to short-list all the
options.

Thanks for the help!

Cesc
