CAUTION: KEEP YOUR PASSWORD SAFE AND REMEMBER IT.
OTHER CipherUSB DEVICES CAN USE THE SAME PASSWORD TO
UNLOCK MEDIA ENCRYPTED BY THIS DEVICE. IF THE PASSWORD
IS LOST THE DATA IS LOST. THERE IS NO “BACK DOOR” TO
UNLOCK OR RECOVER THE PASSWORD OR THE ENCRYPTION
KEY.
After confirming once more for security, the CipherUSB will be
programmed with a 256-bit encryption key seeded by the password.
Once the CipherUSB has been programmed, a dialog will appear
instructing you to remove the device and reinsert it, then the program will
close automatically. After removing and reinserting the CipherUSB it will
be properly initialized.
Using the CipherUSB With Storage
Data that is encrypted will only be readable after being decrypted again
using a CipherUSB programmed with the correct password.
While it is required to connect the CipherUSB with a storage device
attached in order to encrypt files, it is not necessary to encrypt files on
the attached storage. Files may be encrypted or decrypted on any of the
computer's storage devices.
