RE: OT - PC Ssecurity

["Simon Randall" <srandall@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looked at PGP before and I like it but would like something more
intergrated and easier from and NON Techy IT user to use easily. PGP can
be a bit hard to use for the non techy.

Also I want to have the keys not held on the PC,

Hi

I was curious to hear some feedback on the best way of keeping your
data safe on your PC, ( WIN_ XP).
I recently got a digital ID from verisign to try  and used that to
encrypt some files and sign some emails.

But Microsoft requeries the keys and ceritficates to be held on the
pc, i dont like that idea.  I would like to be able to keep these on a

USB flash stick or SD card that i know is always safe and can be
removed when not in use.

Anyone any good ideas of how to acheive this kind of security ?  OR
any better solutions ?

PGP Corporate with comes with PGPdisk. You can encrypt files
individually or create an encrypted file which mounts as a normal drive
when you need access to it. There are rumours that PGP will FINALLY be
releasing a full disk encryption product in the nearish future.
