Mini USB Flash Drives

Similar in size to a quarter, the Mini USB Flash Drive is an ideal storage solution for clutter-conscious users.

The unique sliding design conceals the USB connector when not in use, eliminating the risk of losing a cap like traditional USB flash drives. The thin, stackable design allows for easy insertion and removal into awkwardly placed USB ports.

A key ring is securely fastened to the flash drive, making it easy to attach to a set of keys for safe keeping.

Protect your data with the included CryptArchiver Lite software and encrypt data at 128-bit AES. Small in size, but large in capacity, the Mini USB Flash Drive is available up to 16GB.

All ETC flash drives are backed by a lifetime warranty.

Encryption software is becoming a necessity for individuals and organizations where confidential data plays a critical role.

It is imperative for individuals to protect their identity when mobilizing their data whether on a computer, a hard drive, or a flash drive.

According to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, companies are not required to disclose the loss of 256-bit AES encrypted data.

However, when unencrypted data is lost or exposed, companies are required to inform clients that are possibly affected by the loss.

Considering that hundreds of companies a year are ordered to pay millions of dollars in litigation and media fees, do you think it's important to encrypt your company's data?

128-bit Encryption

The large number of operations (2¹²⁸) required to try all possible 128-bit keys is enormous. However, by U.S. government standards, this is not considered a 'secure' flash drive.

The following USB Flash Drives from ETC feature 128-bit AES Encryption:

• Classic USB Flash Drives

256-bit Encryption

A 256-bit key requires not merely twice as long to crack as a 128-bit key, but rather 2¹²⁸ times as long. If a device were created that could crack a billion billion (10¹⁸) AES keys per second, it would require 3,671,743,063,080,802,746,815,416,825,491,118,336,290,905,145,409,708 years to exhaust the 256-bit key space. 128-bit keys are impractical to attack by brute force methods using current technology; however, 256-bit keys are not likely to be broken by brute force methods using any obvious future technology.

448-bit Blowfish Encryption

Blowfish is a symmetric encryption algorithm designed as an alternative to existing encryption algorithms, such as DES and AES.

Blowfish encryption utilizes a powerful 64-bit cipher in which a cryptographic key and algorithm are applied to a block of data rather than to single bits.

A 448-bit encryption key is 2.1 x 10⁹⁶ times stronger than a 128-bit encryption key.

The following USB Flash Drives from ETC features 448-bit Blowfish Encryption:

• Secure USB Flash Drives
