Uniquely designed as a bump-in-the-wire device on the SATA cable, DeskCrypt requires no mounting and simply plugs in between the SATA connector on the motherboard and the hard disk drive. It operates transparently and encrypts all data written onto the hard disk without any loss in disk performance. DeskCrypt does not require any additional software drivers or applications to be installed and is fully operating system independent. Once deployed, users can rest assured that all data on their desk top pc is fully protected from unauthorised access in the event that the Hard Disk is Lost or Stolen.
Real-Time Hardware Encryption
DeskCrypt is a hardware-based cryptographic module that encrypts every single byte of data that is written into the hard disk in real-time without any loss in disk performance.
Pre-boot Authentication
DeskCrypt authenticates the user ever time the PC Powers on or resumes from hibernation. The PC will only boot into the Operating System on the attached hard disk drive upon successful user authentication. DeskCrypt offers two Authentication modes:
- Single-Factor Authentication: In this mode of authentication, the user is prompted for a PASSWORD at the pre-boot stage after power-on. DeskCrypt grants access to the user if the correct password is presented.
- Two-Factor Authentication: In this mode, the user is prompted for the KeyCrypt USB cryptographic token (something you have), as well as the PASSWORD associated with the token (something you know). DeskCrypt grants access only if the correct PASSWORD is presented.
