tinyurl.com/pqkd4 -> www.everythingusb.com/kingston_data_traveler_elite_privacy_edition_1gb.html Trying to force your way into the new Kingston Data Traveler Elite Privacy Edition for a competitor's data? The Kingston can reportedly melt the data, in a digital way, after just 25 consecutive failed passwords. This should supposedly thwart the "brute force attack" in an attempt to guess your password. The new Privacy Edition does sound very familiar, at least to those whose professional lives rely on mobile data storage. original version, which we reviewed, has the same hardware-based 128-bit AES that encrypts and decrypts data on-the-fly. Its on-board CPU is very efficient at this the transfer rate is flying at 24MB/s read, 14MB/s write. What distinguish the original Elite and the Privacy are the self-destruct feature; a more complex password protocol (we reckon the new software no longer allows us to use any words found in the dictionary for the secret authentication); The latter means you don't need admin account to log in your precious partition. |
