LaCie Safe
This computer invention provides peace of mind for securing your information.
Storing your files on this mobile hard drive gives you multiple levels of protection because it uses advanced encryption and biometric authentication technology.
The Safe uses 128-bit AES encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard) which is the same standard usd by governments to protect top secret information.
Encryption converts information that is readable into a mixture of unreadable characters. Decryption processes the encrypted unreadable characters back into a readable format.
The algorithm that encrypts and decrypts the information is known as a cipher. The cipher allows access to the readable information when you enter a password.
Most ciphers will use passwords that are four to eight characters in length, but a 128-bit AES cipher uses a 16 character password which is extremely difficult to hack.
The AES cipher or "Rijndael" (pronounced Rein Dahl) is named after the Belgian inventors Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen.
Biometric authentication is a technology that recognizes physical or behavioral characteristics such as fingerprints, palm geometry, retina patterns, voice and signature. Fingerprint recognition is the most popular because it's easier to use.
Your finger is scanned for minutia, which are the points on a fingerprint where a ridge ends or splits into two. An algorithm extracts the minutia points and creates a template image that is used for authentication. _________________ seo services |

Certainly an external harddrive is nice to have for extra space.. however it is susceptable to viruses, it can be deleted, it can become corrupted, etc etc etc
If you have important files, pictures, mp3s, movies, etc... you cannot go wrong with a DVD.. the worst that can happen is it can break with a LOT of force or can be scratched (which can usually be fixed)... and you can always burn another copy, eh?
You can also store a dvd or cd in a fireproof safe... it's thinner than an external harddrive and the media is cheap. _________________ Chicago wedding DJs
