Either that, or the functionality provided by the guest system too. I'm personally wary of encryption solutions that are closed, and haven't been audited by an independent 3rd party. So, unless the encryption add-on would be released as open source, that would be one more reason for me personally to not use it in favor of something else. Just my $0.01 worth. Greg P.S.
