500GB Portable secure hard drive This portable HIGH SECURITY HDD is currently the best solution to save data at a high standard of security & mobility Full disk hardware encryption according to the 256 bit AES in ECB mode & the two-factor authentication using the smartcard & 8-digit PINThis HIGH SECURITY HDD combines the benefits of mobile data media with highest security standards for data privacy The HDD offers with its features in combination with the HS Smartcard Management System a lot of solutions for single users companies & public authorities 1. Encryptionbr During transfer on the HDD all data is stored in real-time by a 256 bit full disk encryption according to AES in ECB mode. The Advanced Encryption Standard AES is a symmetrical cryptographic system approved by USAs National Security Agency for top secret information. ECB mode encrypts all sectors with a specified AES key. in addition to all stored data even temporary files as well as areas that would normally not be noticed by encryption software will be encryptedbrbr 2. Authenticationbr The DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD works br Factor 1 Having verifies if the user has a smartcard with the correct AES key.br Factor 2 Knowing verifies if the user knows the correct 8-digit PIN & consequently is authorized to use this smartcard.br Only after successful authentication the AES key used for encryption will be transferred to the encryption chip set & the user will have access to the data.brbr 3. Smartcardbr Serially the HDD is delivered with the smartcard Atmel Crypto Memory AT88SC0104C. This offers enough security in everyday life. For especially high security requirements the smartcard Oberthur Cosmo 64 v 5.4 is optionally provided certified by FIPS 140-2 level 3. These smartcards can be used either exclusively or in combination with the Atmel smartcards. In case of any manipulation the smartcard will be irrevocably destroyed & disabled.brbr 4. AES Keybr The AES key is stored in the smartcard & cannot be read out from enclosure or HDD in case of loss or theft. The construction of the HDD allows changing the AES keys as often as desired. For this purpose the new smartcards must be created with the adequate match key of the enclosure. New data will be saved with the new AES key after the quick formatting of the HDD. The access to old data will be only limited possible by data recovery & using the old AES key.brbr 5. HS Smartcard Management Systembr The HS Smartcard Management System HS SMS is optionally provided. It allowsbr to generate AES keys br to write new AES keys on new smartcardsbr to manage smartcards AES keys & usersbr to write existing AES keys on a new smartcardbrbr 6. Implemented HDDbr The implemented 2.5 SATA HDD makes the mobile data safe small & handy. Thanks to data transfer & power supply using USB (Universal Serial Bus) or Fire Wire & the hard ware encryption it is possible to use this storage medium independent of an operating system or platform.br G-Force Protection robust solutions for modern mobilitybr This Technology prevents the HDD from head crash the impact of the read-write head on the data disk if the HDD falls to the ground or is exposed to hard impacts. A sensor recognizes if the HDD is in the free fall. Within 0.3 seconds the disk will take the heads off the data disk into parking position & switch off the power.brbr 7. Supported Operating Systemsbr The HDDs are bootable & are independent of any operating system. This allows the users not only to store files & programs on the HDD but also programs & complete operating systems.brbr Memory size 500GB Bus type S-ATA 150 RPM 5400 Transfer rate 480 MBits USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 Average access time 12 ms Buffer 8192 KB Noise emission 23 d BA
