Re: Laptop Security - harddisk encryption necessary?

Thanks, I tried, but I wonder how to rank them for different vendors,
does google do it? is first appeared the best/most popular?

No, Google does not. And there is one fundamental rule in choosing
products anything farly related to security: It must be fully open
source, and it must provide full documentation, including but not
limited to the algorithms and techniques used.

Many operating systems come with HD encryption facilities by themselves.
For Windows, which does not provide any security at all by itself, there
are basically two alternatives: FreeOTFE and TrueCrypt. Try both and
choose the one you like better.

By the way, you don't need to encrypt your entire HD. This is overkill
in most cases. Create an encrypted container for your personal
directory, whereever it is.
