CAUTION: KEEP YOUR PASSWORD SAFE AND REMEMBER IT. OTHER
CipherUSB DEVICES CAN USE THE SAME PASSWORD TO UNLOCK
MEDIA ENCRYPTED BY THIS DEVICE. IF THE PASSWORD IS LOST THE
DATA IS LOST. THERE IS NO “BACK DOOR” TO UNLOCK OR RECOVER
THE PASSWORD OR THE ENCRYPTION KEY.
After confirming once more for security, the CipherUSB will be
programmed with a 256-bit encryption key seeded by the pass-
word. Once the CipherUSB has been programmed, a dialog will
appear instructing you to remove the device and reinsert it, then
the program will close automatically. After removing and reinserting
the CipherUSB it will be properly initialized.
Note:
All new data written to the drive will be encrypted. Any sec-
tors that are not yet overwritten may still contain unencrypted data
if the drive has been used before. This unencrypted data is no
longer accessible to the OS but can still possibly be recovered by
special data recovery software.
