ENC Secure Systems creates software to encrypt on flash drives

Thursday, July 22, 2010

The newest software from ENC Security Systems, Encrypt Stick 4.3, now enables users to protect secure and manage their digital files by turning any Flash Drive into a portable Digital Privacy Manager.

The software will protect any necessary documents or information into a encrypted vault while allowing the writable storage device such as a hard drive, flash drive or network server, to store additional items. The sensitive information is stored in the device and cannot be accessed on the computer unless the user enters the correct password.


The Encrypt Stick is available for both Windows and Apple systems and is licensed per flash drive device. Other features with the 4.3 model include compresses encrypted files on the fly to fit more on your flash drive, Password Manager to take passwords on the go, and a virtual encrypted keyboard that can eliminate key logging.

The polymorphic encryption method on ENC software creates an individual encryption algorithm based on the hardware ID of each USB flash drive making more secure storage for the user. The engine operates at an encryption speed of 500Mbit/s. [end]
