Maybe I am not getting it.
But WAVX seems not to be required for a Seagate FDE DRIVE to operate. I could be wrong?
Will just have to wait to see how WAVX brings in the millions
in revenue.

bbigtim: Role of TPMs with FDE

1. The Seagate FDE.2 is architected so that the actual encryption key NEVER leaves the hard disk itself. The hard disk is a trusted device by design and the OS can never spy into the TrustDrive partition. The encryption key is self contained and can not be viewed nor can it, herefore, be recovered. When an encryption key is deleted (with the aid of the EMBASSY TDM the drive computer will generate a new key)

2. In regard to encryption the TPM plays no role. Where the TPM will come in is in binding the hard disk to a platform or domain. The TPM will also play a role in safeguarding (strong) access credentials to the hard disk. I am sure there will be other benefits to be made known.

3. It is indeed so that there is no eams available to recover the encryption key. The critical element is BACKUP. Data backup is 100% necessary!

4. SECUDE has in the press on and off. Their work will be mostly geard towards SAP application where there is a Seagate FDE drive.
