![]() While attending the Web 2.0 Expo at the Javits Center in New York City during November of 2009, I interviewed Mark Small, who is the Chief Technology Officer of Onix International, which is the maker of EncryptStick (), which is an encryption program made for USB drives that uses a 512 bit polymorphic encryption algorithm. Despite the previously mentioned shortcomings, there is hope. ![]() In today’s day and age, you need security which you know will stand the test of time, because even with encryption, once a person has a file, it’s only a matter of time before they are able to breach the security (provided they have the determination), be it a matter of days, years, or even decades. However many of those programs are rushed to distribution, meaning the programs may be subject to varying levels of breaches, or programs could be hard to use. ![]() However the convenience of those small devices also come with the risk of losing the drive and data, or worse - a thief going through your files.įortunately, there’s a solution which allows you to store even the most sensitive files, knowing that the technology securing your files is theoretically more secure than the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is the encryption primarily used by the United States government To combat issues such as the ones mentioned above, many USB drives feature pre-installed security software, or you could download free encryption programs. USB Drives are a staple of modern society.
