I've been chewing on
this idea for a while and am hoping someone on the list may help me with a
concern.
The notion is that
big company B will distribute CDs to employees to use for remotely accessing
things like mail, corporate Intranet, etc. The disk contains two bootable
images. One is "normal" and is the first to load. The second
squashed image is encrypted in a manner that the first image can
decrypt.
The first image
loads, connects to Corp B and authenticates the user. At that point the
key to decrypt the second image is provided and the computer chroots to the
second image. This environment is considered trusted and access is
provided into Corp B.
This seems fairly
straightforward but then why isn't anyone doing this already? What haven't
I considered?
It's easy to use the
word encryption but is much harder to make it work. Any recommendations on
projects I should look at that may be suitable for this
purpose?
thanks,
Jeff
