Not only would Scenario B negatively impact the reputation of Dennis Technology Labs, but it would also devastate the business of Symantec. Who...

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but TrueCrypt is not writing pseudo-random data to disk -- it is reading a disk cluster, encrypting the...

Please see the report... Please see Appendix C in the report for a listing of the specific threats tested.

When I said “two separate and independent sources,” I was referring to the fact that (1) Dennis Technology Labs is separate and independent from...

What was “the precursor to Cotse”? The Cotse website claims the company started in 1999 (not 1990) -- see here. I recommend that you...
