IronKey : The World’s Most Secure USB Flash Drive

The IronKey is a revolutionary personal security device designed to protect your data, passwords and online identity on any computer.

Now you can safely carry your digital files with you wherever you go and surf the Web privately through almost any network–even across unsecured wireless hotspots.

Furthermore, the IronKey is optimized for speed and designed to be waterproof and tamperproof. The IronKey Cryptochip uses hardware-based encryption, which is faster, more secure, and easier to use (no software or drivers to install) than software-based encryption.

Although it employs advanced military-grade security, it is a cinch to use and requires only a password to unlock it. Manage all of your online accounts and passwords in one place with direct access and protection against keystroke-logging spyware and other online threats. If Cryptochip detects any physical tampering by a thief or a hacker, it will self-destruct. And if your IronKey is ever lost or stolen, you can easily restore your lost data and passwords to a new IronKey.

When an IronKey is plugged into a laptop or desktop computer, the user must authenticate with a password before data and applications are accessible. Unlike software-based encryption, the IronKey Cryptochip prevents encryption keys from being transferred and stored onto PCs, where they are vulnerable.

IronKey protects against brute-force password guessing attacks by using non-volatile access-failure counters stored on the Cryptochip. If a thief tries to break into an IronKey and enters 10 incorrect passwords, the Cryptochip will securely erase all the encrypted data with patent-pending Flash Trash technology. This ensures no trace can be recovered from the device.

IronKeys are pre-configured with a portable version of Mozilla’s popular Firefox Web browser. All data, cookies, and web history are maintained locally on the IronKey. IronKey’s optional Secure Sessions service protects your privacy on the Web by triple-encrypting your web surfing traffic, and provides secure DNS services to help assure that you are not visiting a spoofed website.

The Ironkey can generate random passwords and the Password Manager will remember them for you.
The Ironkey Password Manager locally manages all your online passwords with secure one-click direct access and protection against keystroke-logging spyware and other online threats. Optional encrypted password backup is provided as an online service.
