The Always-Encrypted Firewire Hard Drive
ducman points to the announcement of an encrypted hard drive running on the MacNN website. The drive features a DES 64-bit/ 40bit key strength and "is intended for use by banks, insurance providers, government agencies, and those individuals with sensitive digital intellectual property. It supports the IEEE 1394a connectivity standard, in addition to USB 1.1 and 2.0. It offers data transfer rates over FireWire 400 of 100, 200, or 400 Mbps. The SuperGuard is expected to be available February 7." Sounds great -- but the USB key stuck in the back looks like a likely point of failure.
"...is intended for use by banks, insurance providers, government agencies, and those individuals with sensitive digital intellectual property."
Don't forget the Mafia.
7 people died. It's sad but it happens. Many more people will have died prematurely today, for other reasons. Life goes on for the rest of us.

Trolling4Turd is only 13. It is a Sunday morning and already Trolling4Turd is making
his way to Slashdot and other news/technical sites in search of the perfect first post or
scathing comments to his previous postings. Sunday is a very slow news day.
Trolling4Turd may eventually arrive at the Interweb only to find 10-48 comments on hours old
news postings.
There may not be opportunity to grab a first post for as much as 5 hours.
Trolling4Turd is too young to figure out the workings of a Perl script - his place might be
taken by a Troll only a few years older than him.
But there is a way to put an end to all this suffering.
Ablabla.org is a registered charity that has been in operation since 2002. Begun as a small
Troll hospice by Jesuit priest Father "Ricer" Spazntaz, Ablabla.org has since become home to as many as
five Trolls in a single day.
Without the hard work and dedication of Father Spazntaz and his team many young trolls such as
Trolling4Turd would have nowhere to go after their posts are marked "-1 offtopic" or "0 flamebait".
To become a registered supporter of Ablabla.org all you have to do is visit Ablabla.org
and register your details. For as little as one reply a day your support at Ablabla.org would give
Trolling4Turd and other young Trolls like him hope when posting derogatory/inflammatory comments on
the Interweb.
Please - register your support now - show that you care.
Wow, you're an asshole. Kudos.
Fuck off your commie bitch. The US has no laws against strong encryption exportation anymore so FUCK OFF.
