Secure USB Stick
I can't believe that it's taken so long for something like this to hit the market! An excellent idea and I'm sure that gov depts up and down the country will be first in the queue (or is that wishful thinking?)
Definately wishful thinking but they will first create a thinktank group to discuss the pro's and con's of buying them at a cost that far outways the ACTUAL cost of buying them in the first place! Or am i just cynical.......
Been available for yonks
Secure encrypted flash drives have been available for a long time ... I've been using 8Gb and 4Gb Integral CryptoDrives for the last couple of years or so. Easy to use, great peace of mind, and not expensive. Also use encrypted portable 500 Gb hard drives (iStorage DiskGenie)... these have external keypad for entering your password, are extremely fast (fasted portable drives I've ever met using USB2), and again, not expensive. And, using a Mac, the section of the hard drive that holds all your files can be locked down using the inbuilt FileVault, which is practically unnoticeable when in use, but does mean that your vulnerable data is encrypted all the time on the fly.
Me, paranoid? Never!
Not so Unique
This product is basically a copy of a product called LOK-IT Secure Flash Drive. LOK-IT invented the PIN PAD protected Secure USB Drive.
The LOK-IT, having been on the market for over 2 years is also FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified - the highest and most secure certification that a flash drive can get. If you want the real thing, with proper certification (not just manufacturer claims) then I suggest you get a LOK-IT Secure Flash Drive.
