Cipherchain-e kit with Single CipherChain-e

Transcription

1 INTRODUCTION Have you been looking for a simple and affordable solution to secure the sensitvie data storage in your external hard drive? The Addonics products is the answer. Designed using the same field proven in both the Addonics Diamond Cipher and Ruby Cipher AES 256-bit crypto engine (NIST and CSE certified), the Addonics is a small encryption module, the size of a compact flash, that can be easily installed into any desktop PC, server, rack mounted system, kiosk equipment. Easy to install The is a simple pass through device that works with any esata hard drive, SSD (Solid State Drive), or storage device with esata interface. The host SATA port (blue SATA connector) on the is connected to the SATA port on the system board or a SATA controller inside the system. esata hard drive to be encrypted is then connected to the esata port on the. Addonics provides various models of the kit with different mounting brackets for installing into a 3.5" floppy bay, a slim optical drive bay or a PCI slot. module can be purchased a kit with different mounting bracket on 3.5" drive bay bracket on PCI bracket

2 installed into 3.5" drive bay of a Desktop PC Simple to use Similar to all other Addonics encryption products, the is pure hardware solution, meaning there is no software to run, no driver to install, and no password to remember. There is very little user training required to use the CipherChain products. All the user needs to do is to the correct Cipher key into the before attaching the esata hard drive to the esata port on the. It can be operated under any Operating System and this makes the the an ideal security solution for organizations with heterogeneous computing environments and legacy systems. You can also add the same solution to Notebook computer system via the CipherChain ExpressCard. The Cipher key is fully compatible with Addonics CipherChain, CipherChain ExpressCard, Diamond Cipher and Ruby Cipher product.

3 Security are full disk encryption solutions, meaning that the boot sector, partition table, and all the information in the drive are encrypted. If the CipherChain encrypted drive is ever stolen and connected to another system, the drive will appear as a brand new drive with no trace of any data. The AES 256-bit encryption provided by the is considered at the highest level of encryption standard that is, secure enough to protect classified information designated as andldquotop Secretandrdquo. Customers can raise the security level to a more complex level by simply daisy chaining two or more CipherChains to the there is no limit as to the number of CipherChains that can be linked together in this set-up. The daisy chaining of two or more CipherChains will raise security to another level when a different person controls each Cipher key. It is impossible to penetrate even the encryption of a single CipherChain. Daisychain example with one and multiple CipherChains Performance The encrypts and decrypts data instantly using a NIST and CSE certified cryptographic AES engine. Unlike software encryption products that depend on the system CPU to encrypt and decrypt the data, the CipherChain has no impact on CPU utilization. This allows the system CPU to perform its computing tasks at normal speeds. There is also no measurable impact on the performance of the hard drive therefore, there is no noticeable performance difference between a system equipped with or without the CipherChain.

4 Cipher key The AES 256-bit Cipher key used for the encryption/decryption in the CipherChain is the same Cipher key used in the Addonics CipherChain, CipherChain ExpressCard, Diamond Cipher drive kit and Ruby Cipher drive kit. As a result, the same encryption key can operate the storage device that has been encrypted by either the CipherChain, Diamond Cipher, or Ruby Cipher drive kit. Customers may also order Cipher keys with the same key codes when ordering multiple CipherChain kits or Cipher keys. The Cipher keys can also be reprogrammed with other codes by using the optional key management system or by sending the keys to Addonics for the reprogramming service (at no charge). There is no back door for the CipherChain encrypted hard drive if the Cipher key is lost or stolen. To ensure there is a spare key, every CipherChain kit comes with one pair of Cipher keys. One of these keys should be kept in a safe, secure location and, if needed, can be sent back to Addonics for duplicating additional keys. If one of the two keys is lost, be sure to make a back up of all the data stored inside the encrypted hard drive prior to sending the sole key to Addonics. Addonics is not responsible for keys lost in the mail or the retrieval of the data inside the encrypted hard drive. FEAUTURES Great for the following applications: Prevent sensitive data from unauthorized access when the storage device is lost or stolen Shipping or transporting storage devices containing sensitive data Encrypt an entire RAID volume or a specific storage device within a RAID volume Supports encrypting the following storage devices: SATA I/II hard drive or SSD RAID storage created by port multiplier Compact Flash media using Addonics SATA-CF hard disk adapter IDE drives with Addonics IDE - SATA converter AES 256-bit encryption - the highest level of encryption standard FIPS certified Crypto Module. Full disk encryption. No traceable data when the encrypted drive is connected to any system No training required. Encryption/decryption via a hardware key, just like using a regular key to open a door. Size of a compact flash. The CipherChain is small enough to fit into practically any computing equipment Easily mounts into any system via either a drive bay or a PCI slot Multiple CipherChains can be daisy chained to achieve incredibly complex security level. High performance - up to 150 MB/sec OS independent - can be used on any system Cipher Key management system For organization with large deployment, you may consider managing your own keys by investing into a Addonics Cipher key duplicating system.

When ordering multiple Cipher kits and extra Cipher keys and wish that all the keys be set to the same key code, please provide instructions at the final checkout when placing the order at our online store. Customers may also the instructions with reference to the sales order number after final checkout. When ordering from an Addonics reseller or distributor, be sure to leave the instructions when placing the order. Keys can be sent back to Addonics at any time if re-coding is desired there is no charge for re-coding keys, the only charge is the return shipping of the newly re-coded keys.
