IRONKEY ENTERPRISE USER GUIDE
Identity Manager Protection
The IronKey Identity Manager and
my.ironkey.com
work together, giving
you the ability to back up your online passwords to your Online Security
Vault. First, you must unlock your IronKey device with your device
password. Your Identity Manager passwords are securely stored in a
hidden hardware-encrypted area inside the device (not in the file system),
being first locally encrypted with 256-bit AES, using randomly generated
keys encrypted with a SHA-256 hash of your device password. All of
this data is then doubly encrypted with 128-bit or 256-bit AES hardware
encryption. This is the strongest password protection we have ever seen
in the industry.
When you back up your passwords online, IronKey performs a
complicated public key cryptography handshake with IronKey’s services
using RSA 2048-bit keys. After successful authentication, your encrypted
block of password data is securely transmitted over SSL to your
encrypted Online Security Vault.
