Project Details

Description

Nowadays people put a great amount of digital files into removable storage devices. Those files may include sensitive data, personnel records, governmental records, and intellectual properties. This product is a combination of encryption software and smart card. It looks like a USB flash drive. It provides 256-bit AES encryption to safeguard files requiring no drivers or software. Moreover, unlike traditional encryption software and secure storage devices, it does not rely on passwords. By using our product, users do not need to remember any password but process a physical "key" - our product.The idea of our product is like using a real key to lock and unlock the door of our home. That means users can use our product to encrypt the files. And the encrypted files can only be decrypted by that product. Our product is very easy to use and it can help users to secure their data without user intervention.
