| What is the best encryption software to run on a laptop? Must be tier 1 and high speed. |

For storing data or protecting during tranmission?
For storing data plain old Microsoft whole disk encryption is giving fits to the intel crowds. For tranmission you're going to need to protect the OS on both ends and have matching PKI keys on both ends. Most people fail on the first part - rather than cracking the 128 bit AES key they simply exploit a weakness in the client and intercept the plain text or even the keys. For storage I'm using TrueCrypt disks stored under Microsoft Win7's whole disk encryption. For transmission I use a Juniper Networks VPN with conditional access cards. |

| For transmission I just use truecrypt containers. Though AxCrypt is a pretty handy tool that makes self extracting encrypted containers [no truecrypt installation required], but since exe's are hard to send through a lot of means I've kinda stopped using it. Honestly other than my solidworks files with prototypes, photos I can't publish due to PERSEC/OPSEC, and tax docs I don't really have much to encrypt though. |
