storage solutions.
The main element of secure storage is encryption. The
part of the program that encrypts and decrypts data on a
drive can either be stored and run from a chip inside the
drive (hardware encryption) or in software that is installed
on and runs from the computer that the drive plugs into
(software encryption).

• The primary benefi t of software encryption is
lower cost
• The benefi ts of hardware encryption are speed
and security
• In software-based encryption, the keys are placed in the
device’s memory, so a hacker will know where to look
for the keys by their unique format and can target those
keys for an attack.

• In hardware-based encryption, the key never leaves
the hardware device, which means that you cannot
access them by simply looking at the device’s memory.

Encryption Algorithm
• AES is the successor to the older DES (Data Encryption
Standard) and is used by the U.S. Government for
encrypting secret-level and top-secret-level documents,
using the 128-bit and 256-bit strengths respectively.

using the 128-bit and 256-bit strengths respectively.
• 256-bit AES encryption is the strongest form of
encryption commonly available in consumer products.
It meets the requirements of Information Security Policy
SEC-05.05.01 – Encryption Guideline. It is the most
commonly accepted algorithm in the industry and all
of Verbatim’s fl ash memory and hard disk drive security
solutions are based on it.
