Re: [Thinkpad] OT - Thinkpad Hard Drive Passwords

If the disk is stolen and the key is, say, on a 64 MB USB
keychain, I reformat the keychain, then how do you get the
info? Admittedly, I can't get the info either, but that's
another subject, data backup. But if sensitivity outweighs
recoverability, you destroy the key immediately.

Also, as has been pointed out before, it is possible to split
the information. That is how intelligence (e.g. espionage)
organizations survive the inevitable defections and captures of
agents. Admittedly, it makes a for a novel organization chart
("Yeah, we have about 10,000 other employees, but we don't know
who or where they are."). See the autobiography of Gehlen.

OE users should not attempt to reply to this posting!
