On Windows machines, I use and like Protect! drive encryption software from Protect Data. Swedish company, 256 bit Blowfish, unfortunately no source, but totally transparent, foolproof, no cleartext ever touches the disk, and relatively bug free. Older versions of Protect! would crash when USB drives were mounted. Supposedly, this is fixed in newer versions. (Connecting my Sony F505 camera would reliably crash the software). Caveat: the SecureID-like tokens you can get from Protect Data to log into Protect! only use 56 bit DES. Depending on your threat model, you may be better off using a high-entropy passphrase. I never got any of the Windows freeware drive encryption programs to work correctly on my machines. I understand others had more luck. (Yes, I read the pointers/FAQ's/etc). If you are in the market for something other than the open source drive encryption products, you may want to take a look at Protect!. --Lucky Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf > Of Gary Jeffers > Sent: Monday, April 17, 2000 17:13 > To: Multiple recipients of list > Subject: Pgpdisk, Scramdisk, Safehouse, KOH, SecureDrive, SecureDevice. > etc > > > My fellow Cypherpunks, > > Bill Stewart speaks of Pgpdisk, Scramdisk, & Safehouse.
