The IronKey Personal is a revolutionary personal security device, designed to protect your data, passwords and online identity on any computer.
Hardware Encryption for Bullet-Proof Security
All data stored on an IronKey is encrypted with high-speed military-grade hardware encryption. Unlike software-based encryption, this "always-on" protection cannot be disabled, and is protected against cold-boot and brute force attacks. No one can access files stored on an IronKey unless they authenticate with the correct password. All encryption and password verifcation is performed in hardware, and cannot be disabled by malware or a careless user.
Secure & Private Web Browsing
IronKeys are preconfgured with a portable version of Mozilla's popular Firefox Web browser. All data, cookies, and web history are maintained locally on the IronKey. IronKey's optional Secure Sessions service protects your privacy on the Web by triple-encrypting your Web surfng traffc, and provides secure DNS services to helps assure that you are not visiting a spoofed website.
Secure Password Management
The Ironkey Password Manager locally manages all your online passwords with secure one-click direct access and protection against keystroke-logging spyware and other online threats. Optional encrypted password backup is provided as an online service.
Self-Service Password Recovery
If you forget your IronKey's password, IronKey offers an optional online password recovery service. Advanced mutual authentication technology is used to verify your identity, allowing your to recover your device's password securely.
Rugged and Physically Secure
Your IronKey is an investment that will last for years. Your IronKey has a rugged metal casing to protect it from physical damage, and the internal components are sealed to protect against tampering. Also, your IronKey has passed and exceeded military waterproof testing requirements.

The Ironkey Personal Security Device
Reliable & Premium Quality
Encased in a solid, tamper resistant and waterproof metal casing, the IronKey is built to survive years of wear and tear. IronKey uses only the highest quality components, with up to 10 times the average memory lifespan of a traditional flash drive.
Hardware-Level Key Management and Defenses
When an IronKey is plugged into a laptop or desktop computer, the user must authenticate with a password before data and applications are accessible. Unlike software-based encryption, the IronKey Cryptochip prevents encryption keys from being transferred and stored onto PCs where they are vulnerable. IronKey protects against brute-force password guessing attacks by using non-volatile access-failure counters stored on the Cryptochip. If a thief tries to break into an IronKey and enters 10 incorrect passwords, the Cryptochip will securely erase all the encrypted data with patent-pending Flash Trash technology. This ensures no trace can be recovered from the device.
Cryptographic Authentication
Each IronKey is pre-configured with a client-side digital certifcate, which can be used for strong authentication to enterprise websites. IronKey also provides a PKCS#11 interface for developers to access the device’s cryptographic functions.
