  1. Ironkey Secure Portable Drives By Evan Wechsler and Daniel Kolb

  2. Why Hardware Security? • Controlled network access • Hardware is faster and more reliable than software • Disallows unauthenticated access to data

  3. What is Ironkey? • Originally produced by company Ironkey • Hardware now produced by Imation (2011) • Software by Ironkey https://www.ironkey.com/images/landing/ironkey-s200.jpg

  4. FIPS 140-2 • New Models meet Level 3 • Level 1: Hardware cryptographic module • Level 2: Features that show evidence of tampering with hardware • Level 3: Prevent the intruder from gaining access to data

  5. Hardware Based Encryption • No access to encrypted data before authentication • Password authentication required • AES 256-bit CBC encryption http://www.usbmemorysticks.net/wp-content/gallery/ironkey-flash-drives/ironkey-basic.jpg

  6. Strong Casing • Sealed metal casing outside • Epoxy sealant • Tampering sealant around chip • Resistant to heat, water, and tampering

  7. Self-destruct mechanism • On 10 incorrect passwords (changeable on higher models) • When tampering with hardware detected • Entire secure drive wiped and lock partition destroyed. http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/images/4/2011/10/medium_self-destruct-hard_drive.jpg

  8. Secure Sessions • Anonymizer network controlled by Ironkey, similar to Tor • 22 privately owned servers • No man-in-the-middle attacks but everything controlled by Ironkey

  9. Identity Manager • Stores passwords in non-accessible location • Reduces chance of keylogging • Passwords only in RAM for a second or two while posting data http://www.creditscore.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/identity-theft.jpg

  10. Other Features • Enterprise : allow/deny remote access, profiles • RSA encryption • Partnered with Lockheed Martin to make bootable OS’s with secure flash drive
