Law Enforcement and Video Surveillance Expected to Be Earliest Adopters
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- CRU-DataPort(TM), a developer of
computer data security and storage devices since 1986, announced the latest in
a line of solutions to protect sensitive data with its Encrypted DataPort 25,
a palm-sized removable hard drive enclosure for 2.5" drives with built-in data
encryption. The units, available in DES and Triple DES (TDES) versions
beginning September 2004, fully encrypt data stored on the drive to prevent
unauthorized access.
CRU's announcement is especially meaningful to the federal, state and
local law enforcement community. The DataPort 25 is currently being designed
into custom video storage systems for police vehicles. The new encrypted
versions add military level data security to any application that requires
data storage in a small space.
"The DataPort P25 was specifically designed with the rugged small form
factor environment in mind," said Jon Johnson, executive director of marketing
for CRU-DataPort. "It's constructed of stainless-steel and mounts in any
standard floppy drive bay making it ideal for storing data in small mobile
environments such as transportation security. The added protection of
hardware based encryption prevents the data from being compromised due to
theft or misuse."
The new removable drive enclosures completely encrypt all data going to
the disk drive, including the file allocation table and virtual memory. They
feature a custom-designed, high-speed processor that encrypts data before it
reaches the hard drive and requires a unique electronic key -- with several
customizable key management options -- for user authentication and data
access.
Encryption DataPorts utilize a cryptographic engine certified by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Communications
Security Establishment (CSE) and are compatible with any operating system that
supports IDE hard drives. Their 100 percent silicon-based technology will not
degrade system performance and is dramatically faster than PCMCIA, Smart Card
and software solutions, processing data at up to 1.6 gigabytes per second. The
products are available in DES Triple DES versions, the latter of which are
encryption levels approved by FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards
Publication Series) for use by U.S. government agencies.
CRU will display its Encrypted DP25 at booth #3137 at this week's GOVSEC
show, July 28-29, 2004, at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.
