Perhaps this section wasn't updated? A password-based lock method is present in most laptop drives today. But this exhibits an issue with disk-based encryption: you can't really know what they are doing, and if they are doing it right. (Given countless examples of badly-deployed cryptography, this isn't just paranoia, but a real concern.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
