If an employee with such an encrypted laptop is sitting in front of the immigration police who ask him for the encryption passwords then he would be stupid to refuse to divulge it. A wiser move would be to require all confidential documents to be encrypted and stored on a server. Before travelling such documents should be deleted from the laptop. On reaching the destination, the documents should be retrieved from the server. This way, if a laptop is lost, stolen, or in the hands of some police agency in some country or other, there is no corporate confidential information on it. And if there is serious risk associated with the confidential information, whether monetary risk or legal risk associated with making information public, then this *TRAVEL* rule should apply to the daily commute as well. After all, some of you may have noticed this thing called "the Internet" which makes it easy to move around encrypted files to any part of the world where a laptop is likely to travel to. --Michael Dillon _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
