(Get the code!)
Corey: you misunderstood.
I am asking for COMPATIBILITY, not equivalent functionality, with:
1- hardware encryption of USB keys (only supported by a couple companies, both using WIndows software for the passwords)
2- Whole Disk Encryption (WDE), a product from PGP Corporation that enables centralized management of keys, only via Windows obviously.
Both these are liked by big companies because the lawyers can argue that even if a company laptop with financial or health records is lost (read the news lately!!), since the information is still encrypted they can claim that there is not really a loss. They also want to be able to manage the keys in a centralized fashion.
Both the above functions are usually only available through Windows software, so foresee a bleak future for UBUNTU laptops in the corporate world once all big companies get scared and succumb to the MSFT-only "solution". Please note that a Windows with WDE will not support bootable Linux.
Just my request/suggestion to improve UBUNTU.
