Easy to get around this attack - store the key on a usb stick/cd/whatever and every time the OS needs to access the encrypted date the key should be read, data decrypted, then key wiped from the memory; or have the daemon erase the key from memory every T minutes and re-acquire the key at next access attempt... Or you could carry something that emits a huge EMI pulse to destroy the data on the disk... _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
