For those with patience for an in-depth review, Net-Security has undertaken a detailed review of the Ironkey Personal.

The review is of a Personal 1GB, the smallest available storage for this device, the IronKey Personal is also available with storage space up to 32GB. It covers key areas including the Verisign Identity Protection capabilities, AES CBC-mode encryption for the hardware, use of the lost passwords authorisation feature (provided the device is activated online).

The secure backup drive is also discussed in detail, in which the data from the device is transferred to an encrypted archive located on a local computer or network share, copying all the the secure files and private data which is marked ‘hidden’ on Windows computers.

How does IronKey’s Secure Web Browsing work?

Many users ask us about secure web browsing on the Ironkey. This is enabled through the built-in FireFox browser, activated by plugging the IronKey into a computer, clicking the Mozilla Firefox icon in the control panel, which opens a secure internet connection and connects to the web using the Secure Session Service.

The Secure Session Service uses an online router called ‘Tor’ to allow the user to browse fast and securely online.

What does it secure? Valuable and confidential information such as IP address, your banking passwords and pin numbers, or auto-login information for payment sites such as Paypal. This information cannot be traced by hackers as it is not stored on the computer.
