John Grimes' (DOD chief information officer) July 3rd memo is mandating encryption for all sensitive but unclassified information on mobile devices in compliance with FIPS 140-2. "Mobile devices" include laptops, PDAs, CDs, flash drives, etc. See: http://iase.disa.mil/policy-guidance/dod-dar-tpm-decree07-03-07.pdf
Also all new computer assets (servers, notebooks, desktops, PDAs) must have TPM (if available). I guess this is good news for Wavesys <http://www.wavesys.com/ >. Wavesys is the only company that makes enterprise grade TPM management suite that can be centrally managed. But I think more and more FDE vendors will now start supporting TPM for encryption key management, and trusted device management. _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list [email protected] http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde
