How to securely disconnect encrypted disk after a timeout
Rohos Disk program creates hidden and password protected encrypted partitions on your PC or USB flash drive. You can lock access to you applications, to hide folders. It is strong on-fly disk encryption tool.
Today we would like to announce new secure disconnect by timeout feature for Rohos Disk. You can activate this security option to protect your sensitive data in Rohos Disk. At the time of you, use Sleep or Hibernate mode to save power of your computer or laptop this feature is very useful. After awaking up from Sleep or Hibernate Rohos Disk will ask you to enter the password or to plug in the USB key with password. Sometimes you cannot manage to keep an eye on everything that’s why we add Timeout option.
There are many disk encryption tools over the web with the ‘disconnect by the timeout‘ feature. It may work in a few plain and simple ways:
- if there is no disk activity for a long time - it will be disconnected forcedly.
- if there is no user activity for a long time - it will disconnect the disk.
But this may lead to data loss because the disk will be disconnected forcedly. Rohos Disk uses the same principle but in a more elegant way.
Once you paused your PC or closed the lid of the laptop - your virtual encrypted disk is got “locked”. The passphrase window will appear after the you resume your PC or opens the laptop. You will have 25 seconds to enter password or to insert your secure token – key to Rohos Disk. If the password wasn’t entered the disk is dismounting automatically.
Your encrypted information, Internet applications and hidden folders will remain out of reach for other people. Private data became inaccessible.
How to enable this feature:
Open Rohos Disk> Options > check on “Re-authenticate rohos disk after Windows resume”
Your security advantages with this feature:
- Just close your laptop - to lock your Encrypted Disk
- By using a Sleep (or Hibernate) feature in Windows - you are locking your private disk.
- The opened Applications and Documents from the disk remains open but in order to continue to work with it - you need to enter disk password again.
