SafeBoot supports WACOM powered devices as well with pre-boot on- screen keyboards. We don''t generally allow users to skip the pre-boot and just login to Windows, that implies the FED key's stored on the disk somewhere - after all, if the machine can boot without anyone entering anything,

I voted for SafeBoot, but then I'm completely biased. seriously, I could make many claims about how much better it is than its peers, but who would believe me? Let's start with performance though - most FDE products use propriatary 16bit pre-boot OS's, SafeBoot uses a multi threaded 32bit OS, so

Perhaps Michael meant that as the processing power increases, then you naturally can use longer keys to protect data respective of the accepted performance loss? As an example, we were all happy with 512bit RSA lengths a few years ago, now we have smart cards doing 2048bit RSA and most PC's quite

you can have tokens without passwords - smart cards for example where no pin is required. you can also do FDE with Tablets as long as the pre-boot OS supports on-screen keyboards, which some products such as SafeBoot do. On Jul 25, 12:23 pm, robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I said that I was

SafeBoot supports WACOM powered tablets with around 60 different on- screen keyboards.. I'm sure if the manufacturer was willing to share the screen information with us we could support others as well, but most vendors use the WACOM digitizer... On Jul 25, 9:13 am, robin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Adding all users (or lot of users) makes it hard to ensure the confidentiality of the FDE protected computer. If one user's password is compromised then all FDE protected computers are vulnerable to unauthorized access. Plus it creates all kinds of audit issues. to be exact, all computers
