deusletum Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hello everyone, I am forced to use windows for work and thus I am lookingfor a good drive encryption solution. I have to travel for work and almost lifemy laptop at in the airport (stupid I know). What would be best is somethingthat would encrypt the whole drive and could use a USB thumb drive for authentication.I don’t want to use BitLocker as I distrust Microsoft. It would also be nice to have a passwordmanager that could use a USB thumb drive as well. Any help would be greatlyappricated. Thanks.

no42 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Cant think of any... But you could use truecrypt and the hidden OS feature: http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=hidden-operating-system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWyvern Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 There are a number of options out there, truecrypt is definitely a possibility. But working on the side I have seen a number of laptops encrypted with a pre-boot environment. I came across these if you or your company are willing to buy into stuff http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/encryption/safeguard-easy.aspx http://www.winmagic.com/products/full-disk-encryption-for-windows/standalone http://www.symantec.com/drive-encryption http://www.checkpoint.com/products/full-disk-encryption/index.html If it is an IBM/Lenovo Laptop I believe there is built in drive encryption in the bios, typically on models with a fingerprint reader. other option... install linux on the laptop, encrypt it however you know/like, and run windows in a virtual machine.
