When a laptop turns up stolen, it's reassuring to know that the contents of the device were encrypted, transforming a potentially disastrous data breach into a simple case of missing hardware.

Specifically, we address

• Basics of endpoint encryption: what are we trying to accomplish?
• Commonly used encryption technologies
• Legal protections afforded to encryption users
• Key management and escrow
• Extending encryption to smartphones, PDAs and other non-computer mobile devices
