Moreover, each byte is physically overwritten (the “flash-trash” technology is used), which makes the information completely non-recoverable. Special effects in the form of explosions and fireworks do not wait - only data is destroyed. So if you have problems with remembering the password, then expect trouble: after a dozen consecutive attempts to enter the wrong password, IronKey self-destructs. Keys are generated by a cryptographic processor and a hardware random number generator.
To gain access to information is required to maintain a personal password. In addition, IronKey is capable of a couple of interesting “spyware things” that will be useful not only to James Bond, but also mere mortals.įirst, protection at the hardware level implies constant data encryption (moreover, in AES CBC mode) before they are directly recorded. It is quite possible to believe in such applications, since a cryptographic chip is used to encrypt data at the hardware level. Just don't tell your friends that it'll do this, or they'll be eager to put that feature to the test.According to the manufacturer, IronKey is the most secure flash drive in the world. That means no one's getting into the memory, ever. If you enter more than 10 incorrect passwords in a row, the encryption chip will actually self-destruct. What about the old-fashioned method of just guessing someone's password? That's where it gets really fun. Unfortunately for them, it's filled with epoxy, which will once again make it a bitch for anyone to hack. If someone is really determined, they could always pop the case off and access the memory chips. If you don't know what all of that stands for, it means that it's going to be a bitch to hack. Then everything is encrypted again with 128-bit AES hardware encryption. It's first locally encrypted with 256-bit AES with randomly generated keys encrypted with a SHA-256 hash. This military-grade drive is encrypted with the passwords stored in a separate hardware-encrypted area of the drive's memory. Looking at it doesn't really give you the feeling of "coolest thing ever," but remember, beauty is only skin deep. The Ironkey is by far one of the coolest flash drives I've ever seen.
