ABSTRACT:
A method of avoiding a second login of user information in an encrypted disk computer system includes a communications path for transferring user login information. The login information is acquired and used by a first software module which authenticates the user to decrypt a disk with an encrypted operating system. The same login information is transferred using the communications channel to a second use which logs the user into the decrypted operating system. The method also supports multiple users through maintenance of multiple users credentials.
