A couple questions about the encrypted partition

Recommended Posts

How secure is the passworded partition? Is this a serious security feature, or is it more intended to keep out casual browsers?

 

Can the partition be independently decrypted, meaning can I plug it into a totally unfamiliar computer and have the password prompt pop up?

 

What happens if I turn off the password popup? How do I get into the encrypted partition?

I also have some concerns about this security partition...

 

Is it actually encrypted? How so? The way it is set up now, it would definately defeat someone who picked it up on the street after I lose it, but if a technically inclined individual who wanted to get at my info got his hands on it, how secure is secure?

 

Also, is there any way to take the flash voyager utility with you, so that you could execute it off of the unsecured partition to open the secured partition? If not now, are there plans to make that an option? Sure would be handy....

 

Thanks very much in advance.

The secure partition is not encrypted. It is just a hidden partition. Any data stored can be recovered with the right equipment. Even 128-bit encrypted files can be decoded by those who know what they are doing given enough time. The utility can be transported on the unsecure partition and installed on any host computer so that you will have access to the secure partition. The utility can not be run from the drive itself. If the software is not installed you will not have access to the secure partition.
