Hey, <br />
<br />
Is anyone familiar with FIPS encryption in relation to workstations?<br />
If someone is selling you FIPS 1402 level encryption - are they referring to full disc ie data at rest type products - if so are there any 140/2 compliant data at rest products for xp/7/<br />
<br />
Or can it also relat to data in transit - i.e. FIPS compliant &quot;trasit protcols&quot;?<br />
<br />
WOuld much prefer comments to links as the links are confusing me more.
