Mac OS X Pre-Boot Authentication support
PGP WDE now supports Mac OS X boot disks.

PGP Whole Disk Encryption for Mac OS X boot disks
PGP Whole Disk Encryption locks down the entire contents of a system or an external or USB flash drive. Boot sectors, system files, and swap files are all encrypted. Whole disk encrypting the boot drive means not having to worry if a computer is lost or stolen: to access data, an attacker would need the appropriate passphrase.

Transparent Operation
Once PGP Desktop Professional is deployed, its operation is completely transparent- users simply continue to work as usual. The software automatically encrypts and decrypts data on-the-fly, ensuring data Disk, Volume, and File Protection.

Powerful, End-to-End Email Encryption
PGP® Desktop Email delivers all the encryption functionality necessary for protecting an organization's email communications in a single, easy-to-use and easy-to-manage solution. It enables organizations to automatically secure email communications from the sender's email client to the recipient's-and at all points in between-using centrally defined, policy-based encryption.

Multiple Ways to Share Data Users can create storage-independent encrypted containers for transport and sharing of specific files using PGP Virtual Disk, and PGP Zip.

• PGP Virtual Disk volumes - Uses part of the hard drive space as an encrypted virtual disk volume with its own drive letter. A PGP Virtual Disk is the perfect place for storing sensitive files; it is as if they are stored in a safe. When the door of the safe is open (when the volume is mounted), files can be changed, taken out or moved into it. Otherwise (when the volume is unmounted), all the data on the volume is protected. PGP Virtual Disks are also self-expanding: they automatically grow to accommodate increases in data size, eliminating initial space allocation constraints.
• PGP Zip - Adds any combination of files and folders to an encrypted, compressed, portable archive. PGP Desktop must be installed on a system to create or open a PGP Zip archive. PGP Zip is a tool for securely archiving sensitive data, whether to distribute it to others or to back it up.
• PGP Self-Decrypting Archives (SDAs) - Not Available.

Secure File Deletion
PGP Shredder completely destroys files and folders so that even file recovery software cannot recover them. Deleting a file using the Windows Recycle Bin does not actually delete it; it sits on the drive and eventually gets overwritten. Until then, it is trivial for an attacker to recover that file. PGP Shredder, in contrast, immediately overwrites files multiple times. This is so effective that even sophisticated disk recovery software cannot recover these files. This feature also completely wipes free space on drives so that deleted data is truly unrecoverable.

For (optional use) in a Centrally Managed Environment with PGP Universal Server:
Centralized Management, Deployment, & Policy
Automate provisioning, user and key management, and policy enforcement across email, disk, removable media, and network file encryption using PGP Universal Server's Web-based management console. Role-based administrative access enables administrative separation of duties.

Event Logging
Comprehensive logs record all administrative operations for auditing and security best practices.

Recovery Passphrase
Automatic generation and central storage of unique one-time-use recovery passphrase enables remote assistance. Automatically resets the recovery passphrase after each use, reducing administrative overhead.

Policy-Driven Encryption of Removable Media
PGP Whole Disk Encryption users managed by PGP Universal Server automatically apply encryption of removable media according to policy, ensuring consistent data protection for these easily lost devices.

Partition Encryption Deployment
Administrators in a PGP Universal-managed environment may now configure encryption of only the boot partition or only Windows partitions rather than always encrypting entire disks.

Domain Administrator Restart Bypass
Windows System and Administrator account(s) may now engage a mode to bypass WDE authentication on the next restart by utilizing the privileges of the administration account to act as the authenticated user. This feature enables administrators to perform remote software installations requiring a restart of the target computer. Use of this feature is logged to the PGP Universal Server.

Supported USB Tokens - PGP Desktop Email, PGP Virtual Disk, & PGP Zip

PGP Desktop Professional recognizes and works with the following:

• DoD Common Access Cards (CACs) with the ActivCard Gold 2.0 profile
• Athena Smart Card Solutions smart cards, including the ASEKey USB token
• AET SafeSign smart cards, including ASEKey 1.0

Supported Pre-Boot Authentication Smart Cards & USB Tokens

The following smart card readers are supported for communicating to a smart card at pre-boot time. These readers can be used with any supported removable smart card (it is not necessary to use the same brand of smart card and reader). Any CCID smart card reader is supported. The following readers have been tested by PGP Corporation:

• OMNIKEY CardMan 3121 USB for desktop systems
• OMNIKEY CardMan 6121 USB for mobile systems
• ActivIdentity USB 2.0 reader
• CyberJack smart card readers
• Reiner SCT CyberJack pinpad

PGP Whole Disk Encryption supports the following smart cards for pre-boot authentication:

• ActiveIdentity ActivClientCAC cards, both 2005 and 2002 models.
• Aladdin eToken 64K, 2048-bit RSA-capable¹
• Aladdin eToken PRO USB Key 32K, 2048-bit RSA-capable¹
• Aladdin eToken PRO without 2048-bit capability (older smart cards)¹

¹ Other Aladdin eTokens, such as tokens with flash, should work provided they are APDU compatible with the supported tokens. OEM versions of Aladdin eTokens, such as those issued by VeriSign, should work provided they are APDU compatible with the supported tokens.

² The Athena tokens are supported only for credential storage.

³ This token is supported only for credential storage. SecurID is not supported.

⁴ S-Trust SECCOS cards are not supported.

PGP Perpetual License
A PGP Perpetual License with PGP Maintenance entitles the customer to use the designated PGP software indefinitely, plus receive all Upgrades and Updates to the licensed software during the valid PGP Maintenance period; PGP Maintenance must be renewed annually. One year of Basic Maintenance is included with the purchase of a PGP Perpetual License. Currently, the annual cost of renewing PGP Basic Maintenance is approximately 18-25% of the Perpetual License cost.
