Does FDE work with fingerprint readers?
For the past decade, drive-level security options for notebook computers have been limited to one user password managed by the system BIOS and a couple of other commands like locking passwords, etc. While very simple, they are industry standards nonetheless. With FDE and the Seagate Secure security command set, Seagate has proposed standards that are under review by the Trusted Computing Group and ATA standards committee. As open standards, third-party software providers will invest time and energy in developing applications that support the enhanced Seagate Secure commands (4 user passwords, hidden pre-boot authentication storage space, encryption key change and erase, and more).
