Re: [Fed-Talk] Looking for encrypted hard drives

Interesting. Some of these are even FIPS 140-2 approved:

Rocsecure continues to deliver the next generation encrypted technologies to drive new levels of security, performance and ease-of- use in a 2.5" internal Real-Time Hardware Encrypted hard drive solutions. Rocsafe 2.5" internal Hardware encrypted drives are designed to be mounted (replaces) within your notebook computer just like the existing hard disk drive that is currently installed in your notebook. Rocsafe is a secure storage device that consists of a hard disk drive and a hardware based encryption module that encrypts every byte and every sector of data that is written into the hard disk. Rocsafe is operating system independent and does not require any software drivers. It also encrypts all temporary files, as well as areas that would normally be missed and left in "clear" by software encryption products. Encryption and decryption occurs transparently without any loss in disk performance (Real-Time.) Users simply use their notebooks as usual with the assurance and complete peace of mind that their data is fully protected in the unfortunate event that their notebooks are stolen or lost.

Does anyone know of good solutions for encrypting data at rest on Macs (preferably the entire drive)? Unlike my last job, "throw the drive in a GSA Class 5 safe when you leave the room" is not an option for me at the moment.

Encrypted disk images have the same plusses and minuses as PGPdisk-- they work great as a place to put sensitive documents and data, but I also need to protect the browser & email caches, iChat logs (if they are turned on) and other things that live in the home directory. From a functional standpoint, FileVault home directories actually do quite well, and our security guys have approved it as an interim step, but I'm trying to identify some additional alternatives.
