Key Ironkey Features & Benefits
Hardware Encryption
All user data is
encrypted with AES hardware encryption that meets FIPS 140–2 Level 3
requirements.
A True Random Number Generator (TRNG) on the IronKey
Cryptochip generates the encryption keys used to protect your data in IronKey
hardware when the drive is first activated. This ensures maximum protection via
the encryption ciphers. Unlike with software-based encryption, which stores keys
on the host PC hard disk and loads them into RAM memory, IronKey encryption keys
are never stored or loaded onto the PC, so they can never be compromised through
methods such as Cold Boot attacks or other exploits.
Unlike software-based encryption, IronKey's"always-on" hardware encryption cannot be
disabled either accidentally or on purpose.
Fast and Reliable
Since the onboard Cryptochip manages the keys and performs the encryption routines, it won't slow
the host PC processor and will run more securely than any software-based
encryption system. IronKey also uses high-grade, high-speed flash
memory.
State-of-the-Art Cryptography
IronKey follows industry best practices and uses only
well–established and thoroughly tested cryptographic algorithms. All of your
data on the IronKey drive is encrypted in hardware using up to 256-bit AES
encryption implemented in Cypher Block Chaining (CBC) mode. CBC is a more secure
implementation than the alternative Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode that some
encryption products use.
Cross Platform
All IronKey devices work with Windows 2000, Windows XP SP2 or
later, and Vista without administrator privileges or installing any software or
drivers. IronKey drives will also work on Macintosh computers running Mac OS
10.4 or later, or Linux computers running Linux 2.6 or later. Just plug it in
and go—there is no software to install.
