Secude/Seagate....paper is patient!

Remember the PR from Cebit2006:

Well, I visited with Gugi Secude at Cebit2007 and talked to one rep (tehre was only ONE of the 10 reps who knew about the stuff) about an hour. Not to say it was boring, but obviously Secude had NO solution at this time since they haven´t gotten a drive!LOL Secude is focused on SMARTCARDS and they don´t care about TPMs, this was the fact the rep tried to convince me, they had no preboot authentication, no FDE management and didn´t even think about centralized FDE management. They tried to show us then their software based encryption solution but we denied and finally got away...
What they have is a centralized management of smartcards. And this is the business of Secude, and they do well in this business!

And now my guess:
Secude has developed a preboot authentication for the FDEs in conjunction with their SmartCard technology, that would allow them to write about centralized management (smartcards). I´m sure they have no software similar to ERAS!

Nevertheless as I posted before, competition is a good thing and we will see more and more in the near future, but PLEASE can anybody tell me WHO has a bundling deal with Seagate?

Nobody else out there meets the Trusted Computing Specs with their solutions EXCEPT Wave and everybody who is convinced that TC is the next level of security in the future, should applaud ANY competition who tries to jump on the train with half solutions....
