Abstract:
A method for deploying a disk encryption password to a client computer includes installing a disk encryption agent on a client computer, where the agent communicates with an enterprise encryption service that encrypts a disk password using a public key generated at the client computer. The encrypted disk password is transmitted to the client computer where it is set as the current disk password. A system to deploy a disk encryption password includes one or more client computers and at least one server having a control processor configured to support operation of an enterprise encryption service. The encryption service is configured to install a disk encryption agent on a client computer and generate an encrypted disk password using a public key generated by the client computer. An enterprise encryption database in communication with the enterprise encryption service stores the disk password.
