I compile a lot of software on my laptop, and I *certainly notice* the
difference between my office laptop (no encryption) and my travel
laptop (with FDE). The laptops are exactly the same, with the same
image loaded. The only difference is the FDE software that is
installed on the travel laptop.
Hello Alexander,
My guess is that slow compilation is a result of access time
misconfiguration: if a filesystem has access time enabled, then each
time a file is read, the file system updates access time on disk. A
solution is to set noatime option on the filesystem used for
compilation.
This

not really. however Privacy Rights Clearinghouse reports that
100,000,000 personal records have ended up in criminal hands since
2005. See:

That does not mean 100 million people have become victims of identity
theft. And there is no reason to
Hello All,
I would like to know how much weight people usually give to the FIPS
140-2 Level 1 certification.
If two products have exactly same feature set, but one is FIPS 140-2
Level 1 certified but cost twice. Would you go for it, considering the
Level 1 is the lowest.

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.

For everyone on this list's interest. The US Government is currently
conducting the largest single side-by-side comparison and competition
for the selection of a Full Disk Encryption product.

Legal access is a special case -- what is the law (and practice) in any
given country on forced access to keys? If memory serves, Mike Godwin
Yup. Disk Crypto has a ugly side as well, as highlighted by the recent
incident where FBI was unable to crack the encryption used by a
pedophile and
Yes, encrypted disks aren't much good unless the OS also encrypts

I think you are confusing Disk Encryption with Full Disk Encryption
(FDE). They are two different beast.
FDE encrypts the entire boot drive, including the OS,
source doesn't necessarily mean that the
implementation is secure.
When is the last time you checked the code for the open source app
that you use, to make sure that it is written properly?
