That doesn't work with hardware encryption.Įdited to add: I haven't seen the IronKey drives since IronKey itself left the business and sold the use of their name to Imation.
We DO know that a software-based encryption scheme can be attacked an infinite number of times due to the ability to just image the drive. If you feel the need, use in combination with TC and it's a solid set-up.Īs for the possibilities of tampering with a FIPS certification, who knows? I certainly doubt anybody is getting in the drives I use. Hardware encryption has many advantages over software, beginning with the fact everything takes place on the chip embedded within the flash drive casing. (Integral, for example, has an overall "level 2" certificate, but is actually higher in some areas tested.) And, I should have said with at least a "level 2" certification, which provides for visual confirmation of tampering. So what do people think about Hardware Encrypted drives, does anyone have any recomendations of a secure drive? Are the ones I listed good choices?Ībout physical tampering.that's why I said in my post that you should spend the extra money for FIPS 140-2.
Have a look at these pages regarding the Corsair padlock: For example one drive on the market from Corsair can be compromised very easily with just a soldering iron and a resister.
I have to admit I know nothing about these and don't want to fall for any of the marketing hype. I am not planning to rely on this 100% as I will still use Truecrypt encryption, however I thought it might provide an extra layer of security incase my Truecrypt is compromised with malicious software such as a keylogger etc.įrom my research, I think I may go for one of the following: I am considering buying a flash drive with Hardware encryption, the type that has a physical keyboard on the flash drive.
