Highly Secure and Portable USB Flash Drive Uses Polymorphic Encryption Technology to Protect Files and Online Passwords from Accidental Loss or Theft

NEW YORK, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- (Interop, Booth # 545) -- Onix International Inc., today announced the availability of the EncryptStick(TM) software application on a preloaded USB flash drive. With 4GB of onboard storage, the EncryptStick flash drive acts as a key to the end user's computer in order to protect any type of file or password from theft or accidental loss.

EncryptStick works as a digital key and safe that locks down any type of document, photo, video or password so that the data will be inaccessible in case that a computer or flash drive is lost, stolen or hacked.

"The need to securely store and transport digital files is becoming increasingly important as cyber-criminals get more advanced with their techniques for data and identity theft," said Tyrone Phipps, CEO of Onix International. "EncryptStick delivers the most robust protection available to ensure that your sensitive information remains private."

After inserting the preloaded EncryptStick flash drive into the computer USB port and entering a personal password, users can create an unlimited number of data vaults (folders containing sensitive files) on the flash drive itself, as well as any host computer, removable hard drive or writeable media including CDs, DVDs or SD memory cards. The vaults are only visible when the EncryptStick drive is inserted in the computer and the user's personal password has been entered, leaving no digital footprint behind once the flash drive has been removed from the host computer.

Automatic session timeouts can be user-defined to lock the EncryptStick application and prompt for the user's personal password in the instance that they walk away from the computer with the flash drive inserted. If the user's computer is lost, crashes or requires maintenance from an IT professional or computer repair shop, the encrypted files will be safe from prying eyes.

EncryptStick Password Manager

Among the key features now available with the preloaded EncryptStick solution is the unique Password Manager function that protects online usernames and passwords from hackers and thieves when logging into sensitive websites. EncryptStick enables users to securely store and manage their online passwords on the USB flash drive in order to get direct access to password protected sites, such as email and online banking without the fear of keystroke logging or other hacking techniques commonly used to steal credit card and social security numbers.

512-Bit Polymorphic Encryption

EncryptStick is the only data protection solution available today using a 512-bit polymorphic encryption, the world's strongest encryption technology available to consumers, which has never been broken or successfully hacked. EncryptStick's polymorphic technology uses a variable encryption algorithm that is significantly faster and more secure than AES-256, the government standard for top-secret documents, commonly used in competitive solutions.
