Download BrochureCRYPTECH USB is a unique device for data protection and for sending encrypted e-mail. The encryption for the protection is done entirely via hardware and not via the usual software you are running on your computer (in an unprotected environment). The coding system is attack proof and saves the data on a removable MicroSD memory card. The device comes in the form of a normal USB stick which can be inserted into any computer / OS (Windows XP, Vista, 7, GNU Linux, Apple MAC OS X) without having to install any drivers therefore leaving no trace of use. Once inserted into the PC USB, CRYPTECH looks like a normal storage device where data can be saved. On running the Administrator program CRYPTECH USB, you can enter the password of authentication that transforms the memory into an encrypted partition. After entering your password, a memory for storage can be seen in the PC peripherals; this can be used by any programme to save data directly. Moving existing data into this encrypted memory will protect it.
CRYPTECH USB
CRYPTECH USB can protect as many MicroSD cards as the user desires. The device has two levels of authentication, the first is the password to use CRYPTECH USB and the second to access each MicroSD. The capacity is virtually unlimited and grows with the various sizes of storage card available on the market.  You can switch from one encrypted card to another simply by substituting  the memory and entering the password of each MicroSD. You can format securely or reset to ZERO operating directly from the firmware CRYPTECH USB.
Cryptech USB is equipped with two applications: one to set up the encrypted partition and manage security and the other to encrypt the files to send as attachments with e-mails. CRYPTECH USB is also available in the Professional / Government version which has a slot for inserting a smartcard, and then allows the use and transport of keys and priority / classified algorithms in maximum security. With the smartcard you can use the device to digitally sign documents or to authenticate.
CRYPTECH USB can be customized if required or it can be provided with room to develop which would allow the device to be integrated with other programmes or to develop new features. The extended CRYPTECH Libraries provide easy access to cryptographic functions in both hardware and software.

The USB CRYPTECH supports plug-in form factor smartcards being therefore ready for use as a signature device within PKI infrastructure. Also the smartcard plug-in opens a number of opportunities. The extended CRYPTECH Libraries allow exportation of smartcard functionalities for host-side applications. Additional encryption algorithms and functions, dynamic customization of the USB CRYPTECH are only some of the features the smartcard give access to. Furthermore the plugin gives access to High Level HW and SW security (up to EAL5 CC).
Exportable internal cryptographic functions allow easy development of USB CRYPTECH based Secure Applications. A complete set of libraries including HSL (Host Secure Libraries) and USL  (USB CRYPTECH Secure Libraries) make it easier the task of integrating and developing.
The USB CRYPTECH can support a suite of applications and services, including Internet browsers and  Password Managers. Flexibility and customisation capability make the USB CRYPTECH adapter the ideal platform for deploying secure virtual desktops and portable applications.
