Compusec v4 did have password recovery processes, just not challenge and response.

This is very useful in large roll-out of any FDE solution. I'd submit that any program without a password recovery mechnism is not worth the money -- or lack of money -- you spend for it. Full disk encryption must have administrative password recovery for it to be effective. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Ali, Saqib Sent: Mon 4/23/2007 9:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [FDE] Simple question (newbie) > What's the best software out there? The closest I've found is Compu-sec. Is > that any good? Free or not, Compusec is a excellent product. It has been very stable for over the last few years. And worked fine on various computers I had, including SCSI based workstation. The only 2 drawbacks I have seen with compusec are: 1) Lack of Challenge/Response password recovery mechanism. This is very useful in large roll-out of any FDE solution. Utimaco and Pointsec have challenge/response based password recovery. 2) The encryption is limited to 128bit AES. Some institutions mandate 256bit AES. _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list [email protected] http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde
