Review: SecureDoc

Review: SecureDoc

SecureDoc is a competent full disk encryptor that uses the AES algorithm and SHA-2 hashing. It works with a token to which the user can save the key file, rather than saving it on the computer. This adds significant extra security – if the user does not store the USB token in their laptop case. The product also supports basic password security and quite a wide range of third-party pre-boot authentication products.
