Comment on Summarizing PKI Certificate Validation by Walter Goulet

Hi Deepak,

BER (Basic Encoding Rules – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Encoding_Rules) is basically just a method to encode certificate data in a protocol message. Sounds like what you are seeing is that your endpoint is not properly configured with a certificate so it’s not sending anything to the peer.

Comment on Recovering a PGP Whole-Disk-Encrypted Drive by Veera

Hi,

Last week my hard drive crashed which was encrypted by PGP WDE. My hard drive does not boot. I tried installing my crashed hard drive and using PGP disk recovery. PGP recovery gave me error could not read or something like that. It does not recognize the crashed hard drive. I have very important information on my hard drive. Please let me know if there is a way I can retrieve data from crashed drive.

Thanks

I am trying to establishing a IPSec tunnel with the authentication method using certificates. the peer end asks for a certificate as certification request payload in the ISAKMP . But my end replied with some BER Error: Empty choice was found.
Any idea what is BER and what can be the problem ??

I was trying to create a secure USB disk using Acronis and seem to have overwritten the MBR. I ended up decrypting the drive using a recovery disk (12 hours) but looking at these articles it seems I may have been able to replace the MBR with PGPMBR

I’m going to experiment but perhaps adding the instrument would have done me…

Instrument a Disk – Adds the PGP bootguard for encryption.

Thanks! In light of the Diginotar breach, I have some additional thoughts I plan on blogging about soon. You might be interested in this article I wrote up for the InfoSec Institute last month as well: http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/understanding-pki/
