Geoffreyf Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 What is the internal encryption method? Is there one? If someone were to physically open the drive and access the chips directly, would they extract the data? If not, if the data is secured in the chips, how is this accomplished? What is the encryption scheme? To be clear, I am comparing your product with Iron Key, http://www.ironkey.com IK lacks the on board keypad which is a very nice feature but it has put more thought into physical attack profiles by potting the product, and including an onboard crypto asic. A product with all that and the pin code entry on board like yours would be the very best of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 3, 2008 Our Flash Pad lock does not use any encryption, but we will release a newer version with Hardware encryption in the controller next year. Our Pad Lock will only lock the device from being used until you enter the pass word, and yes some one could take it apart, but 90% of the time this would destroy the device and the data would not be accessible.

ssulistyo Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 some one could take it apart, but 90% of the time this would destroy the device and the data would not be accessible. Can you substantiate this claim? Are there actual safeguards against physically opening the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 4, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 4, 2008 As I said someone could open it and try it but there is a high probability it would destroy the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca2del Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hey RAM GUY, Do you have an update on this? Could really do with knowing an ETA of an encrypted version of a PADLOCK drive before buying 50+ for my company :-) Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
