File Share Encryption

good evening,

i'm searching a solution for to allow the login user account of windows 7 ultimate, this way to use P.G.P. Desktop or WDE plus a fingerprint reader plus smartcard encrypted and avoiding to store the password hash in the S.A.M. file of windows 7 ultimate/enterprise.

so the password hash of login account ( or more simply the sam's password ) should have to be stored:

in the smartcard's microchip ( if the fingerprint reader allows Match on Card of the template );

in the TPM 1.2 ( always using the fingerprint reader plus smart card ).

Hi V.builder,

There is no support for Biometrics at Bootguard level, additionally, please have a look at the article below.
Biometrics Software is not Working with PGP Desktop - TECH200095
 

Notice also that the feature to encrypt to a TPM has been discontinued.

HOW TO: Use TPM Authentication with PGP WDE - PGP Desktop 10 - HOWTO42084.
"Note: TPM authentication is supported on PGP Desktop 10.0.0 - 10.2.1 MP5."

We are currently on 10.3.2!

dear dcats,

sorry for my answer submitted only today but i have been busy to find a best solution for lgon windows 7.

ok so no solution for biometric authentication for P.G.P. Desktop in windows 7.

Do you have notice about a possible embedding of biometry in P.G.P. Desktop?

best greetings

Biometrics has been proven time and time again to be an ineffective security method.  To be honest from a security perspective its nothing more than a Gimmick.  It can be very easily bypassed and cracked.  Just look at the brand new phones coming out that were cracked mere hours after being released.  Not something I would personally trust to look after encrypted data.
