Keyed Up
Saturday, February 01, 2003 In theory I like this idea to encrypt data written to hard drives. In practice, however, I suspect it will work a lot like SecureID does for so many people: User: "Why can't I get into Citrix today?" Tech: "What's the problem?" User: "I don't know my SecureID number." Tech: "What's the keyfob say?" User: "I lost the keyfob yesterday. Can't you find out for me?" Yes, we have conversations like that... Until encryption is built into the system ("Secure Trusted Computing" I guess) or permanently affixed to someone's body I'm not sure I'd ever want important information floating around at the mercy of the ordinary, average end-user. And God forbid it should be in the hands of salespeople... posted by Henry Jenkins | 2/01/2003 04:22:00 PM
