Today more than ever, information security is a pressing priority for individuals and businesses alike. As the world becomes more and more connected through the Internet, and more and more sensitive data is uploaded into the “Cloud”, the potential for loss or theft becomes exponentially greater.
The recent admission by Google that their own email servers had been hacked by “unknown” Chinese agents should be a wake-up call for all of us. If the most advanced Internet firm on the planet can be compromised, then the obvious question becomes: “Just how safe is my information?”
Part of the answer depends on how proactive we are in our daily activities. No one is seriously suggesting that we “drop off the grid” completely ~ computers and the Internet are too valuable to stop using entirely. But we can ~ and should ~ consider making a smart investment in our own information security.
The EncryptStick USB software from ENC Security Systems can be an elegant and cost-effective part of the equation.

HOW IT WORKS
Simplicity and flexibility are two of EncryptStick’s main hallmarks. You can either download the encryption software onto a flash drive that you already own, or you can buy a new USB drive pre-loaded with their state-of-the-art 512-bit Polymorphic Encryption. It works on both Windows and Mac operating systems ~ a real plus. Even better, EncryptStick™ gives you the ability to create unlimited invisible encrypted vaults (folders) on an unlimited number of laptops, PC’s, CD’s, and DVD’s or removable hard drives.
EncryptStick™ provides you with the protection you need from identity theft, viruses, hackers and phishers. It’s important to realize that the software application runs from your USB flash drive and not your computer. This allows for a number of unique features such as our military wipe function, which renders no footprint once a file has been deleted from the host computer.
EncryptStick™ acts as your personal key to your computer.
Simply plug your EncryptStick™ flash drive into your USB port and type in your personal password (that nobody knows but you!), you now have access to your private invisible encrypted vaults. Without the “Key” (USB flash drive) and your personal private password no one will be able to access your encrypted vaults or files.
Even if your USB flash drive is stolen or lost, your private files are safe and secure, because to access your encrypted files you need not only the EncryptStick™ flash drive but also your personal private password. EncryptStick™ provides two-tier protection; you must have the Key “in hand” and the password “in mind”.
The EncryptStick™ application offers a robust Password Manager. This allows you to keep all of your passwords safe and secure on your USB flash drive in an encrypted vault. The Password manager allows you to keep all your passwords in one safe place whether you are at home, at the office or traveling.
THE ROBUST TECHNOLOGY BEHIND ENCRYPT-STICK:
512 Bit Polymorphic Encryption
The Company entered into a License Agreement with PMC Ciphers, due to its high speed of encryption and its immunity against Power Analysis Attacks i.e. hacking on low- to mid range micro process controllers. The polymorphic system is hardened against practical attacks such as brute force and represents an advance in encryption technology. In 1999 Bernd Röellgen patented a Polymorphic Encryption technology based on his ‘Polymorphic Method’ and this was immediately classified by the German government as a state secret. Later that year in an attempt to encourage e-commerce the German government declassified all of its encryption technology, allowing PMC-Ciphers Inc. to develop its disk encryption software and distribute 8 million copies worldwide.
Röellgen’s patented Polymorphic Encryption technology is able to create ultra-fast, ultra-strong ciphers that are extremely adaptable with no theoretical or practical way to reconstruct keys from plaintext. His method comes with a comparable number of ‘data keys’ as with conventional symmetric encryption methods. However, it adds a significant amount of possible and equally probable algorithmic keys, thus yielding substantially higher security and speed. Mr. Röellgen’s polymorphic ciphers have been resistant to all known cryptanalytic attacks and to this date remain unbroken.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU LOSE YOUR THUMB DRIVE?
So you’ve lost your flash drive, and now you have no way to unlock the vaults on your computer? No need to worry! EncryptStick software allows you to easily initialize a replacement Flash Drive by using our Instant Online Recovery System. Simply obtain another flash drive (with a serial number), purchase a license and go through the private-recovery process. Once completed your new Key will be able to access any encrypted files located on your computer. Unlike other systems, we never know your password and thus cannot help you recover files unless you have properly registered, recorded your password information, and followed the proper backup procedures.
