Another [ better ] USB secure drive

Authenex, provider of authentication e-security applications, announced the release of the v4 A-Key token, a driverless USB storage device can be taken anywhere and used on any PC without installation. The device is designed to "self-erase" if an unauthorized person tries to access it.

Like self-destructing without destructing, the token self-erases if someone tries to log on fails a predefined number of times. This ensures that, in case of loss or theft, vital information cannot fall into the wrong hands.

The A-Key token also supports multiple authentication protocols (One- Time Password, PKI, or Challenge-Response authentication). The v4 A-Key token enables up to two levels of password management: the user level or both the administrator and user levels. This enables a greater degree of control over how the token can be used and by whom.

The token contains up to one gigabyte of encrypted storage for user data, such as certificates, documents, single-sign on credentials, etc. All data is encrypted on-the-fly by AES encryption at the hardware level.
