Protection
of sensitive data on Tablet PCs
SafeBoot® Device Encryption™
uses strong access control and pre-boot
authentication for both users and machines
to prevent unauthorized access to PCs,
laptops, and tablet PCs. It provides
industry-leading, award-winning encryption
with algorithms such as RC5-1024 and
AES-256. Encryption and decryption on
all storage drives are performed on
the fly, transparent to the user, with
virtually no performance loss and without
requiring end-user training. SafeBoot
Device Encryption also offers Single
Sign-On (SSO), secure hibernation, the
ability to restrict what applications
and ports can be used, password rules
(for content, length, etc.), and extensive
central management capabilities.
SafeBoot Device Encryption supports
smart cards, USB token technologies,
and PKI certificates. In addition to
password authentication, SafeBoot Device
Encryption provides two-factor pre-boot
authentication (F2-PBA),
which requires users to both "know something"
and "have something" before PCs, laptops,
and tablet PCs are allowed to start.
Through SafeBoot Management Center,
SafeBoot Device Encryption's central
management capabilities include central
deployment, remote upgrades, mandatory
security policy management, a scripting
tool, hot revocation, audit facilities,
secure centralized recovery, and policy
synchronization with Active Directory®,
Novell®, PKI, and others. These
capabilities enable today's businesses
to increase ROI and lower TCO.
Finally, in addition to all SafeBoot
Device Encryption features available
for PCs and laptops, users of tablet
PCs can authenticate their identity
during pre-boot using a stylus.
