Re: Security procedure question

Try the following concept:

- What you know
- What you have
- Who you are

There are USB sticks out there that include fingerprint biometric identifiers. This can be used based on the following concept:

- Booting the laptop with the usb stick with a minimal kernel.
- Matching a key on the usb stick.
- Matching a fingerprint
- Asking for a password.

This is top notch methods on encrypting and securing mobile devices. Without any of the three , you cannot boot. Simple as that :)

We're going to be deploying whole disk encryption to our laptops so I am
interested in hearing how others have distributed the software
encryption ID's and passwords to users. I'm concerned about a user
leaving the id and password on paper in or near the laptop.
