SecureDoc is already utilized by many U.S. government agencies, such as the National Security Agency and Homeland Security, and was recently selected for a pilot project with the U.S. Department of State aimed at integrating the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card and biometrics with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and full-disk encryption. SecureDoc is also the only full-disk encryption solution that supports the DoD Common Access Card!

With SecureDoc Full-Disk Encryption the U.S. Federal Government Agencies will be able to:

Comply with the OMB directive today, and without changing encryption products to comply with FIPS 201 / HSPD-12 later. The SecureDoc deployment at Department of State for a FIPS 201/ HSPD-21 compliant project with PKI smartcard and biometrics is the proof of our advanced technology.

The following list describes features that distinguish WinMagic’s SecureDoc from its competition. While one or two competitors may support some of these features – perhaps five or six – we believe that as many as half of them are available only in SecureDoc.

You’ll notice that many of these differentiating features are significant – replicating them would require considerable insights and effort.

In compiling this list, we haven’t included a number of unique features that do not require deep insights, such as our high-resolution boot logon GUI, our facility to control client computers remotely, or our ability to encrypt user records with different keys (for different administrators).

We’re prepared to demonstrate why SecureDoc is the most secure full-disk encryption product on the market. With SecureDoc, you can be sure your data is well protected – even from us.

List of SecureDoc features. To our assessment, about half of the features below are not available in any other software. Please compare for yourself.

	The centralized management software should use a scalable, enterprise class DBMS, such as SQL, that supports distributed computing, backup functionality, replication, clustering, etc.
	Interoperability with imaging software (Ghost, Drive Image, Rapid Deploy, Bootworks, Rapid Restore, Rescue & Recovery); meaning users can make backups of encrypted disks as if the disk is not encrypted.
	Pre-boot support for smartcards, USB crypto tokens and PKI. WinMagic has delivered smartcard and PKI integration with SecureDoc since 2001 (e.g. to the New Zealand government).
	Support for biometrics devices - all at pre-boot. WinMagic's SecureDoc is the only product to support biometrics at pre-boot. It has been used by the U.S. Department of State in HSPD-12, FIPS 201 compliant projects.
	Support at boot time for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), the security chip now embedded in newer PCs.
	The central server communicates with client PCs via LAN, over the Internet, intermittent network or even with no network access at all.
	Users can recover data even if the disk is infected by viruses.
	Work with boot manager (Boot Magic, Boot-US, Windows boot manager) and support multiple operating systems (multi-boot).
	Robust handling: allow the initial encryption (conversion) to be interrupted - e.g. by power outage - without data loss.
	Work with VMWare. SecureDoc works with VMWare "out of the box". This shows that the SecureDoc design is more compatible than others.
	Support for encryption of MO drives. Even though the removable Magneto Optical drives are most popular in Asia, the technology to support drives with sector sizes different than 512 bytes show the thoroughness and the modularity of the SecureDoc software design.
	Support for removable media (USB memory sticks, SD cards, ZIP, JAZ, etc.): Administrators can configure SecureDoc in order to Disable all removable media access Allow read-only access if the removable media is not encrypted Allow access only if the removable media is encrypted (with pre-defined keys etc..).
	Work with partitioning software such as Partition Magic: Encrypted disk partitions can be resized, partitions can be added or deleted as if the disk is not encrypted.
	Support disks larger than 2000 Giga bytes and an unlimited number of partitions. Furthermore, different partitions can be encrypted with different keys, e.g. for sharing.
	Support for hibernation mode.
	Support RAID controllers.
	Encrypt the entire disk, not only partitions. A test at Network Computing showed that users can add partitions and SecureDoc automatically encrypts them. Only one other product can do the same.
	Compartmental version: divides the disk into compartments, encrypted by different cryptographic keys. The separation is so strong that a virus in one compartment would not affect the other compartments.
	Fast, robust, reliable initial encryption (conversion). User can even run defragmentation during the initial conversion.
	Support of SHA-2 instead of SHA-1. WinMagic has used the more advanced SHA-2 with SecureDoc V4 since early 2005.
