==Hard Disk Drive FDE==

HDD FDE is being pushed by HDD vendors and a standard is being pursued for greater adoption via the [[Trusted Computing Group]]<ref>[https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/ Trusted Computing Group: Home<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. Key management takes place within the HDD and encryption keys are protected by the drive firmware. However, some level of authentication must still take place within the CPU via either a software [[Pre-Boot Authentication]]<ref>[http://secude.com/htm/707/en/Pre-Boot_Authentication.htm SECUDE IT Security - Pre-Boot Authentication<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Environment or with a BIOS password.

Currently there are only two software solutions for [[Pre-Boot Authentication]] available from [[Secude]]<ref>[http://secude.com/ SECUDE IT Security - Homepage<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and [[Wave Systems]].
