Duke, "I'm just noodlin' here, but you don't know a whole heck of a lot about encryption technology, do you" Apparently more than MSFT does otherwise why the big todo? Data encryption isn't the problem here, unsecured access to data is. What good is encryption software/hardware when someone hacks into a system and captures the data before it is encrypted or better yet, fiddles with the encryption keys so that only the hacker can read the data? Don't know about you but in order for data to be useful there has be a point where it is decrypted for human use and that is where the OS leaks come into play. Pretend your next post on SI needs to be a secure one and type it in as encrypted ASCII for our amusement! Cheers, Norm
