Assuming that the two products use Internet protocols (as compared to proprietary protocols):
I don't understand this statement. What do you mean by internet protocol vs proprietary protocol??? And also we are looking at FDE solutions, so there are no internet protocols involved in that.
no. Probably the only thing that could differentiate the two is if the cheaper one has a crappy random number generator, the more expensive one will have a good one.
well I think FIPS 140-2 Level 1 ensures more than just a good PRNG. Even if a public crypto (e.g. AES) is used in a product, there are many mistakes that can be made during the implementation. And FIPS 140-2 Level 1 is expected to catch these egregious mistakes. saqib http://www.full-disk-encryption.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
