CipherChain Kit on SCSI-1 or PCI bracket

Transcription

1 INTRODUCTION Have you been looking for a simple and affordable solution to add bulletproof security to your system or your data storage equipment? The Addonics family of CipherChain 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 CipherChain is a small encryption module, the size of a compact flash, that can be easily installed into any computing equipment. Practically any desktop PC, server, rack mounted system, kiosk or external storage system can be secured with CipherChain products. The standard CipherChain comes with one internal SATA host port and one internal SATA device port to encrypt any internal SATA storage device. The CipherChain-e, a model that comes equipped with one internal SATA host port and one esata port to secure the data stored in any esata storage devices. Both CipherChain uses the same AES 256-bit encryption. Simple to use Similar to all other Addonics encryption products, the CipherChain are 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 before powering on the system or the storage device. The family of CipherChain products can be operated under any operating system and this makes the CipherChain and the CipherChain-e an ideal security solution for organizations with heterogeneous computing environments and legacy systems. Easy to install The CipherChain family of products is a simple pass through device that works with any SATA I/II/III hard drive, SSD (Solid State Drive), or storage device with SATA interface. The SATA hard drive to be encrypted is first connected to the device side of the CipherChain and the host side (blue SATA connector) of the CipherChain, in turn, connects to the SATA port on the system board or a SATA controller. For the CipherChain-e, the device side is equipped with an esata port to encrypt any esata storage device.

2 CipherChain (for encypting internal SATA storage) Both the CipherChain is a small module that can easily fit into practically any computer or storage equipment. Addonics provides a wide variety of mounting brackets to install the CipherChain and the CipherChain-e into various systems via a 3.5" drive bay, a 5.25" drive bay, a slim CD drive bay, a PCI slot, or the SCSI-I (Centronic 50) punch out commonly found on many external drive enclosures. There is also a dual CipherChain bracket to install up to two CipherChains to encrypt as many as two storage devices in one bracket. Since each CipherChain works independently, a customer may install as many CipherChains as needed for the number of storage devices desired to secure the system. Depending on the security control strategy, a customer may use Cipher keys with the same or different key code for each CipherChain.

3 Security CipherChain are full disk encryption solutions, meaning that the boot sector, partition table, and all the information in the drive are encrypted. When the main drive (boot drive) of a system is connected to the CipherChain, the system will be disabled without the Cipher key and storage devices protected by the CipherChain are inaccessible without the Cipher key. If the CipherChain encrypted drive is stolen and then is 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 CipherChain 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 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. Daisychaining example with multiple CipherChains Performance The CipherChain 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 Model: CCCMSPC1, CCMSPC2 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 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: Secure a system from unauthorized access 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/III hard drive or SSD RAID storage created by port multiplier Removable drive storage system - Addonics Drive Cartridge Systems or Mobile Rack with SATA connection 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. Easily mounts into any system via either a drive bay or a PCI slot Installs into external storage enclosures such as Addonics Storage Towers and Storage Rack via the SCSI - 1 punch-out or one of the drive bays. 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.
