Secure USB

Always-On Data Encryption
All user data is encrypted with AES hardware encryption that has been validated to meet government FIPS requirements. Unlike software-based encryption, this "always-on" protection cannot be disabled. And since the Cryptochip generates and stores the strong, random encryption keys, the encryption routines run faster and more securely than any software-based encryption system.

Physically Hardened
The IronKey is an investment that will last for years. The IronKey has a rugged metal casing to protect it from physical damage, and the internal components are sealed to protect against tampering. Also, IronKey has passed and exceeded military waterproof testing requirements.

Secure and Effective
No one can access fles stored on your IronKey unless they authenticate with the correct password. All encryption and password verifcation are performed in hardware, and cannot be disabled by malware or a careless user. This eliminates the risk of compromised confdential portable data.

Easy to Deploy and Maintain
The IronKey does not require any software or drivers to be installed and even works on Windows XP and Vista without administrator privileges. The IronKey offers drag-and-drop encryption, "plug and play" simplicity, and intuitive encrypted backup, which helps minimize the total cost of ownership. Onboard security software cannot be tampered with or removed. Each IronKey has a unique, easy-to-read serial number, making it simple to track and inventory.

Cross-Platform
IronKey Basic works with Windows 2000, Windows XP or Vista without administrator privileges or installing any software or drivers. Once initialized, IronKey Basic also works on Linux systems and on Macintosh OSX.
IronKey has worked with numerous enterprises and leading technology and security partners to provide an extremely secure solution that is reliable, easy to deploy, and will not increase calls to the Help Desk.

Reliable & Premium Quality
Encased in a solid, tamper-resistant and waterproof metal casing, the IronKey is built to survive years of wear and tear. IronKey only uses the highest quality components, yielding up to 10 times the average memory lifespan of a traditional flash drive.

Hardware-Level Key Management and Defenses
When an IronKey is plugged into a laptop or desktop computer, the user must authenticate with a password before encryption keys are enabled and data and applications are accessible. Unlike software-based encryption, the IronKey Cryptochip does not export AES encryption keys to the host PC, thereby protecting against cold-boot and malware attacks. The IronKey protects against brute-force password guessing attacks by using non-volatile access-failure counters stored on the Cryptochip itself. If a thief tries to break into an IronKey and enters 10 incorrect passwords, the Cryptochip securely erases all encrypted data with patent-pending Flash Trash technology. This ensures no data can be recovered from the device.

Endpoint Security Aware
The IronKey Basic has been designed to work seamlessly with many of the industry's leading endpoint security software products. Every device has a unique serial number, making it easy to manage and apply usage policies.

Always-On Data Encryption
All user data on an IronKey is encrypted with high-speed military-grade hardware encryption. Unlike software-based encryption, this "always-on" protection cannot be disabled and is protected against cold-boot and brute force attacks. If a thief tries to break into an IronKey and exceeds a policy-determined number of failed login attempts, the IronKey Cryptochip will lock out the encryption functions and securely erase all the encrypted data with patent-pending Flash Trash technology.

Remote Administration and Policy Enforcement
IronKey's Enterprise management service allows you to easily manage thousands of IronKey devices and enforce device-specific policies for IronKeys on and of your network. Congurable policies include password strength, password retry limits and on-board portable applications. IronKey Enterprise also allows enterprises to define policies to permit and revoke administrative authorization.

Portable Identity Protection and Strong Authentication
IronKey Enterprise devices have full public-key encryption capabilities, which enables them to be managed securely and remotely. IronKey Enterprise also supports One-Time Password technology, providing a convenient and cost effective platform for deploying RSA SecurID.

Endpoint Security Aware
IronKey Enterprise has been designed to work seamlessly with many of the industry's leading endpoint security software products. Every device has a unique serial number, making it easy to manage and apply usage policies.



Policy Enforcement and Provisioning
Designated IronKey administrators use an intuitive, secure online interface to apply security policies to their enterprise flash drives. Users self-provision their devices with an activation code that retrieves a policy definition from the management server.

Self-Service Password Recovery and Secure Data Recovery
IronKey offers optional, self-service online password recovery from my.ironkey.com that employs advanced mutual authentication to verify employee identity. IronKey Enterprise uses Public Key authentication to allow authorized administrators to access data on employee devices without back-door passwords.

Portable Security Software
IronKey Enterprise devices come with a suite of applications and services, including Mozilla Firefox, IronKey Password Manager, and our Secure Sessions service. Policy settings allow your IronKey administrators to turn these applications off or on as desired.

A Platform for Secure Enterprise Applications
IronKey Enterprise devices can be used as more than just a secure flash drive, and we encourage innovation by our customers. IronKey devices include a digital certificate and interface that can be used to integrate into enterprise authentication infrastructures. IronKey has partnered with Moka5 and RingCube to provide portable virtual machines, which can allow applications and secure operating systems to be carried on your IronKey device. Contact IronKey to learn about our Software Developer's Kit, and how we can help you to create a customized solution for your particular needs.

Hardware Encryption for Bullet-Proof Security
All data stored on an IronKey is encrypted with high-speed military-grade hardware encryption. Unlike software-based encryption, this "always-on" protection cannot be disabled, and is protected against cold-boot and brute force attacks. No one can access files stored on an IronKey unless they authenticate with the correct password. All encryption and password verifcation is performed in hardware, and cannot be disabled by malware or a careless user.

Secure & Private Web Browsing
IronKeys are preconfgured 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 surfng traffc, and provides secure DNS services to helps assure that you are not visiting a spoofed website.

Secure Password Management
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.



Self-Service Password Recovery
If you forget your IronKey's password, IronKey offers an optional online password recovery service. Advanced mutual authentication technology is used to verify your identity, allowing your to recover your device's password securely.

Rugged and Physically Secure
Your IronKey is an investment that will last for years. Your IronKey has a rugged metal casing to protect it from physical damage, and the internal components are sealed to protect against tampering. Also, your IronKey has passed and exceeded military waterproof testing requirements.

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.

Cryptographic Authentication
Each IronKey is pre-configured with a client-side digital certifcate, which can be used for strong authentication to enterprise websites. IronKey also provides a PKCS#11 interface for developers to access the device’s cryptographic functions.
