Toshiba Storage Device Division (SDD; Irvine, CA) and Wave Systems Corp. (Lee, MA) announced an alliance to develop a standards-based solution for the secure encryption of data on mobile computing platforms, such as laptop PCs.

The full disk encryption solution integrates Toshiba's HDD encryption technology and Wave's EMBASSY Trusted Drive Manager and Remote Administration Server products for the management and administration of encrypting hard drives. Toshiba and Wave will demonstrate development versions of these products at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco, August 19-21.

Wave has extended its client software, EMBASSY Trust Suite (ETS), which includes the Trusted Drive Manager, and the EMBASSY Remote Administration Server, to provide cross-vendor support for encrypting HDDs from multiple disk drive OEMs, including Toshiba's HDD encryption technology.

Toshiba's HDD encryption technology uses design principles from the evolving draft specifications for trusted storage devices. The solution provides high-performance data encryption integrated into the drive hardware, with strong protection of the encryption keys and secure authentication as integral elements of the HDD design.

When combined, Toshiba and Wave's components provide a secure, easy-to-use, and remotely manageable data protection solution for mobile PCs. Wave's solution also assists enterprises with the compliance assertion tools required by many stringent data protection laws and regulations worldwide.
