Overview
The CipherUSB works by encrypting data using a 256-bit algorithm set
by a password key. It encrypts files by overwriting the same sectors used
by the file with encrypted data, then renaming the file with a new
filename extension. The CipherUSB comes new in a pass-through mode,
and will not function until a password is set using the software utility.
Product Features
CAUF1W: Basic ECB 256-bit file encryption.
CAUF1W-2: Basic ECB 256-bit file encryption with Two-Factor
Authentication.
CAUF1M: Basic ECB 256-bit file encryption, works with Windows or
MacOS X.
CAUF1M-2: Basic ECB 256-bit file encryption, works with Windows or
MacOS X and has Two-Factor Authentication.
CAUF2W: Advanced CBC 256-bit file encryption. CBC encryption adds
an extra layer of complexity making the encrypted data less predictable.
CAUF2W-2: Advanced CBC 256-bit file encryption with Two-Factor
Authentication.
CAUF2M: Advanced CBC 256-bit file encryption, works with Windows or
MacOS X.
CAUF2M-2: Advanced CBC 256-bit file encryption with Two-Factor
Authentication, works wi th Windows or MacOS X.
Two-Factor Authentication
Once a CipherUSB with Two-Factor authentication (CAUF1W-2,
CAUF1M-2, CAUF2W-2, CAUF2M-2) has been activated with a
password, it will not allow the storage to connect to the operating system
until the CipherUSB Utility has been run once and the correct password
is given. The CipherUSB will only accept the password it was
programmed with during the Initial Setup process. These models include
an emulated CDROM Drive that will auto-start the CipherUSB Utility,
which immediately prompts for the password.
