Module description

The iStorage datAshur is a self-authenticating and self-encrypting secure USB flash drive based on DATALOCK® technology licensed from ClevX, LLC. datAshur uses full-disk hardware based AES 256 Bit encryption in CBC mode. The unit is not dependent on any host software and drivers. By design it is OS/Host independent and agnostic to any operating system (Win, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, Symbian, etc.), computer, or embedded device that supports the standard mass storage class (USB/USB OTG). datAshur supports a single encrypted private partition available to the user when unlocked.
