PGP Whole Disk Encryption supports the following smart cards for pre-boot authentication:
- ActiveIdentity ActivClientCAC cards, both 2005 and 2002 models
- Aladdin eToken 64K, 2048-bit RSA-capable*
- Aladdin eToken PRO USB Key 32K, 2048-bit RSA-capable1
- Aladdin eToken PRO without 2048-bit capability (older smart cards)1
- Athena ASEKey Crypto USB Token for Microsoft ILM2
- Athena ASECard Crypto Smart Card for Microsoft ILM2
- EMC RSA SecurID SID800 Token3
- Charismathics CryptoIdentity plug 'n' crypt Smart Card only stick
