Infineon Security Platform Solution
Advantages of using the Personal Secure Drive
Whether you work with digital information for your business or private use your confidential data must be comprehensively protected. The Personal Secure Drive offers maximum protection because you store all files of your choice on an encrypted, virtual drive, creating a high-security repository for sensitive data. Advantages include:
Encryption of virtual drives using a securely stored AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) key.
Encoding of the encryption key via the RSA algorithm.
Transparent security – automatic encryption / decryption of data.
Processing of even large files without noticeable delay – because encryption and decryption are done “on the fly.”
File protection made easy
The Personal Secure Drive is designed to provide a simple and intuitive user interface, allowing you to focus on the job at hand and not on lengthy security processes. The Personal Secure Drive offers:
Ease-of-use: the Personal Secure Drive behaves like any standard Windows drive.
Wizard based interface for easy administration and configuration.
Integration with Microsoft EFS (Encrypting File System).
High-level assurance with the Trusted Platform Module
The Personal Secure Drive is based on the latest Trusted Computing Initiative – the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The Personal Secure Drive uses the Trusted Platform Module as the core of the file encryption process, ensuring that data is both protected from unauthorized personnel and is “locked” to the PC on which it was encrypted. The Trusted Platform Module provides hardware security for your data, surpassing any software based protection schemes currently available.
