Good $daytime, SecretDisk, made by Aladdin Software Security R.D., (http://www.aladdin.ru/) provides cryptographic file system for Win9x boxes. It supports usage of parallel port keys, smartcards, PCMCIA cards, or recently mentioned USB eTokens, in combination with password protection. Among others, this software offers workstation locking feature: once a key is physically removed, screen saver is activated, blocking mouse/keyboard access to applications until key is inserted back. However, on a dual monitor workstation, screen saver takes over only the first display, allowing mouse/keyboard access to application windows on a second one. IMHO neither real hole nor backdoor, just a silly overlook. Tested on eToken version. Regards, Willy.
