Disk Volume Encryption, PKI and MOM 2007 - Three RunAs Radio podcasts

Wednesday, June 06, 2007 2:15:17 PM (Pacific Daylight Time, UTC-07:00) ( IT Security | RunAs Radio | Tech )

Catching up on announcing a few new RunAs RunAs Radio shows that I've neglected to mention here over the past couple weeks. We publish a new episode each and every Wednesday. The show has been live since mid-April and it's been pleasantly surprising to see how quickly it's taken off!

Anyhow - RunAs Radio Shows 7, 8 and 9 are now online. Discussions in these shows include disk and file encryption and the TrueCrypt open source software, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and what it means to you as an IT professional, and Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2007, a great tool for managing and monitoring your enterprise, whether small or large.

Show #9: Eric Marvets Talks TrueCrypt! (published 6/6/2007)
Show #8: Brian Komar Talks PKIs (published 5/27/2007)
Show #7: Rory McCaw on MOM 2007 (published 5/23/2007)

In reference to the TrueCrypt show. There was a question as to whether you can use only a keyfile. Yes you can, I have done it. Some users feel this is not as secure as a password or a password and a keyfile for various reasons.

Thanks for the followup, Peter. I agree, it's not as secure, but I can see a couple legitimate applications for it (esp if the keyfile was stored on removable media). I think it's more secure than just a password as long as it's not stored on the same physical system encryptd, though. Something (Else) You Have is almost always stronger.
