MXI offers USB drive with security

CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES: MXI Security, a provider in security solutions, today announced the launch of next generation of its Stealth MXP Bio encrypted USB drive.

With both biometric and strong password technology, the Stealth MXP Bio offers 1-, 2-, or 3-factor authentication for the highest security levels attainable. All authentication processes, including biometrics, are performed completely within the trusted hardware, fully isolated from malicious attacks on the host computer, said a press release.

Going beyond simple secure storage, it offers digital identity and PKI token services ranging from RSA SecurID and OATH OTP to on-board key generation, digital signatures, and secure key and certificate containers.

“The Stealth MXP Bio offers the strongest user authentication available, and is immune to PC-based password attacks. Coupled with its OTP and PKI features, this makes it ideal not just for secure portable storage, but for authentication into the cloud. It’s a do-everything device.” said Lawrence Reusing, CEO of MXI Security.

Incorporating the latest version of MXI Security’s Bluefly processor (www.blueflyprocessor.com), the Stealth MXP Bio offers AES-256 CBC hardware encryption of all on-board data, and an in-hardware malware-proof mode to protect against attack.

It also joins other Stealth products in being the first and only USB drives to meet the NIST SP800-56A Key Agreement Scheme, offering unparalleled protection for host-to-device communications, the release added.
