KILGETTY
CESG has ceased development and production of Kilgetty, the software-based disk encryptor. This decision was taken in light of previously made public announcements that CESG does not wish to compete with the private sector in the development of IA products. Please see License to Industry for further details. The following information is provided for existing users. The Kilgetty range of software products provides total disk encryption, for the protection of Government data stored on PCs, against unauthorised access in the event of loss. All of the current versions use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. During installation, the entire content of every hard disk in the computer is encrypted, including all data structures, the operating system, applications and free space. Access control is implemented using a touch memory device, read through the PC serial port, an 8 character User Identity and a 10 character Password. Once the boot process is complete, all files and operating system functions can be accessed normally, as Kilgetty encrypts and decrypts the hard disk data on the fly. Using the Kilgetty System Manager, it is possible to configure Kilgetty to allow multiple users with individual levels of access. The Kilgetty Local Manager can control which privileges a user has when accessing the floppy disk drive mode, the floppy disk material and emergency erase facilities. Kilgetty products provide disk encryption for both Plug'n'Play and non Plug'n'Play removable hard disks. Facilities are provided to produce encrypted floppy disks that are unique to a single computer or accessible by multiple users on multiple machines. KILGETTY 2K V1.1 supports trusted USB access via integration with the KILGETTY System Manager. A USB device can be accepted or rejected, as determined by the user.
