I've been chewing on this idea for a while and am hoping someone on the |
| 2 |
list may help me with a concern. |
| 3 |
|

The notion is that big company B will distribute CDs to employees to use |
| 5 |
for remotely accessing things like mail, corporate Intranet, etc. The |
| 6 |
disk contains two bootable images. One is "normal" and is the first to |
| 7 |
load. The second squashed image is encrypted in a manner that the first |
| 8 |
image can decrypt. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The first image loads, connects to Corp B and authenticates the user. |
| 11 |
At that point the key to decrypt the second image is provided and the |
| 12 |
computer chroots to the second image. This environment is considered |
| 13 |
trusted and access is provided into Corp B. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This seems fairly straightforward but then why isn't anyone doing this |
| 16 |
already? What haven't I considered? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It's easy to use the word encryption but is much harder to make it work. |
| 19 |
Any recommendations on projects I should look at that may be suitable |
| 20 |
for this purpose? |

thanks, |
