The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has put forward specifications for three new storage encryption standards. The specifications outline encryption standards for storage in PCs and datacentres along with a third proposed standard for the SCSI and ATA protocols used by hard disks and other storage systems. "TCG's approach to trusted storage gives vendors and users a transparent way to fully encrypt data in hardware without affecting performance so that data is safe no matter what happens to the drive," said TCG chairman Robert Thibadeau.
