Essentially, what I'm looking for is thus: - someone breaks into my always-locked equipment room - someone steals the box(es) in question, which obviously means shutting down the unit I don't want said thief to be able to retrieve the data after the box is stolen, which is why I'd like a passphrase, and a removable key. Even if the passphrase is captured, the data will still be protected because I have the only key to the system 35 miles away on my person. > If the intruder has physical access to the machine, it would be much > easier to put a keylogger device between the keyboard and the machine. There is no possible way this would go unnoticed. Anyone that could gain access to the already secured room would have a window of about 15 seconds to break into the building after hours (secured/alarmed), smash in the secured equipment room door, grab the box (out of about 40) and run. >> It's questionable though, whether you should leave your computer in an >> environment where this can happen undetected and probably better solved by >> increasing real life security. Like I said, it won't go undetected. The equipment is in a very secure equipment area, inside of a secured and alarmed building. All equipment is monitored 24/7, so if the box was physically altered, I would be alerted via SMS/email immediately. > An important point that too many people forget. I agree, but this is not the case here. I just want the data protected if the box goes down, whether by physical intruder, or I force it down myself.
