have not heard of this requirement yet.
Michael -
Unfortunately our IT department just made that blanket statement in an email a few weeks ago. Stating that in order to maintain compliance with HIPAA requirements we were going to be instituting encryption on all clinic laptops to protect the data in case of theft. No specific regulation or register cited, which would be a help. On the windows side, its as easy as deploying a product like Sophos' SafeGuard Easy or truecrypt. On Mac, its as easy as using FileVault, but on linux, with a live system, i am stuck looking for a solution. Now i did this on a live F10 box, but for the life of me i cant remember how. The box has cryptsetup installed, the correct ciphers, dm-*, all the stuff thats required. I hate getting OLD, LOL.
If i find out anything specific on the regulation, i will forward it along.
Thanks :)
