MXI Security releases biometric thumb drive

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

MXI Security introduces the Stealth MXP Bio encrypted USB drive, its latest development of portable security solutions. Featuring both biometric and advanced password technology, the MXP Bio provides one, two or three-factor authentication.

The device combines the storage capacity of a standard USB with secure identity features such as digital signatures and on-board key generation.

Going beyond simple secure storage, it offers digital identity and PKI token services ranging from RSA SecurID and OATH OTP to on-board key generation, digital signatures, and secure key & certificate containers.

Incorporating the latest version of MXI Security’s Bluefly processor, the Stealth MXP Bio offers AES-256 CBC hardware encryption of all on-board data, and an in-hardware malware-proof mode to protect against attack. It also joins other Stealth products in being the first and only USB drives to meet the NIST SP800-56A Key Agreement Scheme. [end]
