Offtopic question:

Is there any FDE software that supports keeping decryption keys on a network server? You would still need to enter user authentication to obtain the decryption key of course.

Use case: We are a HIPAA environment, I want a hard drive to be useless if it is removed from the building.

I recently solved this problem using StrongAuth. We used SED disks instead of FDE software.

We use Checkpoint where I work and I am almost certain it does key escrow.
