Dear friends, recently we have covered “BioSlimDisk Signature” compatibility with some Rohos products. Now it’s time to review device security capabilities, compare it with other Biometric USB flash drives with fingerprint scanners and give you some hi-res photos of the device.
In brief, BioSlimDisk is a USB flash drive with hardware level encryption (AES 256 bit key length) and hardware level Biometric authentication.
This time we would like to present another innovative One-Time-Password token - UmiKey. This is a small Key-like USB device that doesn’t need any driver on the client. With this token you can sign-in securely into practically any software or hardware system where you have USB Port. When you need to log in you just connect it and press a small button on it to generate One-Time-Password string into any text field (login form).
In the video is presented how you may work with encrypted partition on a PC without admin rights using free portable encryption solution, Rohos Mini Drive, that securely protects your portable data on any USB device. Portable utility Rohos Disk Browser gives you opportunity to work with your sensitive data on USB in a usual way on any PC (even on internet cafe, where you don’t have admin rights).
On the video you will see:
Opening Encrypted part of USB drive by a password.
Opening files (with on-the-fly decryption) with associated application.
Saving files with on-the-fly encryption from application.
Playing mp3 files.
Browse all photos from a folder in thumbnail view (by using Virtual Folder command).
Launch portable applications.
With this functions Rohos Mini Drive is the most wanted tool for portable data security recommended by many bloggers and magazines.
We announce a beta support of wireless smard-card MiFare 1K. This contactless smartcard technology (RFID) with over 1 billion smart card chips and 10 million reader modules sold.

So Just How Personal Is Your Personal Computer?
The amount of information your computer stores is astonishing - your credit card information, personal and professional data can be open for grab. Protect yourself by taking measures brought to you by Rohos Logon KeyWindows and Mac versions.
This time we’d like to present you a short review of a new device, BioSlimDisk Signature, that was kindly provided to us by its manufacturer RiTech International Ltd.
With the help of this device along with Rohos Logon Key you’ll have a truly seamless secure login solution for: Identification, Security and Access Control - three-factor authentication solution for Windows and Mac.
The device itself represents a pretty massive flash drive though it’s light. There are Biometric Area Sensor, LED lights (orange, red, green and blue) and side switcher on Signature case. Before plugging in the device and configuring it for authentication it’s recommended to carefully read instructions. I took this task carelessly and later had to “struggle” with the device for 3 hours to be able to use it. The specificity of BioSlimDisk Signature is that it’s not accessible till three of your fingerprints are successfully enrolled (truly ultimate protection ). Below you’d be able to find a small guide on how to set up this device in Rohos Logon Key and its review after one month of using on both Windows and Mac platforms.
BioSlimDisk Signature features:
Protection using Biometric Area Sensor
2 Admin and 4 User fingerprint
Dual-fingerprint’
Uses Dual authentication methodology
Unique Self-Destruct Tamper protection with Chip-based Hardware AES 128 Encryption
True Driverless zero footprint technology (runs on all platforms e.g. Linux, Mac OSX, All Microsoft Windows, Solaris..etc)
Relax and enjoy your day knowing you can step away from your Mac and have no concerns about it been secure and safe from prying eyes. You can leave your Mac without worrying that you’ve forgotten to shut it down.

During the past week we were working on Rohos Logon Key for Mac improvements. And today we have published an updated release 2.1. It includes updated version of authorization plugin for Maс OX S Snow Leopard.
What’s new:
New UI. Now Rohos Logon uses a standard authorization dialog view.
Fixed bug with screen saver unlock dialog.
Fixed bug when Rohos Logon did not mount FileVault encrypted home folder.
Are you using Mac? You’d be glad to learn that we have just released new Rohos Logon Key v. 2.0 for Mac OS X to ensure safe and secure authentication. It works for both Leopard and Snow Leopard versions. We are here working hard to provide you with the very best services we can and we look forward to continuing to do so into the future.
With this completely new version Rohos Logon adds convenient authentication security for Mac OS X login and unlocking after a screen saver. But also works like a security Key for privileged operations made by the user during installing software, changing system preferences, etc. So you don’t need to enter your password manually in most cases.
What’s new:
Re-implemented login screen. Now Rohos Logon replaces Mac OS X logon screen.
“Screen Saver Password” dialog box is replaced by Rohos Logon.
Rohos Logon dialog box also replaces System Keychain authentication dialog box. This dialog box authenticates almost all privileged operations made by the user (installing software, changing system preferences, etc.).
Your USB flash drive data protection and its portability demands are increasing, yet with today’s offers we have in software community there are small chances you might find a worthwhile application.
So what do you use to password protect your USB drive and have secure access to your encrypted partition on Public PCs without having administrative rights?
Long time anticipated by fans of portable encryption solutions possibility to create an encrypted area on a USB disk/key that a user can open/mount, double click and open the files, and close as required, without Admin rights is now implemented in Rohos Data Security solutions Rohos Disk Encryption and Rohos Mini Drive. You do not need Administrative privileges, and yet you can double click and open say a Word doc, and then save it to the same place without leaving any traces of working with it.
You may say - “There are solutions that have a portable disk Explorer utility that allows working with an encrypted disk without Admin rights”. Yes, but very few disk encryption solutions provide decent disk Explorer performance. Meaning that in many of them you can only extract a file outside the disk Explorer and then open it. After some changes to the file have been done, if any, you should Import file back to the Disk Explorer. In this case “on-the-fly” encryption principle doesn’t work. The obvious disadvantages of such approach - ‘unencrypted files’ may be left behind on a guest PC or unsecured part of the USB flash drive, and you can’t work with big files.
File Virtualization. Open files via Rohos Disk Browser in associated application without first decrypting them into temporary folder. Rohos virtualizes file presence for the application, thus it works with encrypted file by using “on-the-fly” encryption principle.
