Do not underestimate security of your data. Thefts of data and entire computers are a daily matter. Both individuals and enterprises lose top secret financial data and for some it costs reputation. In the light of the latest news on FBI wanting to require all encrypted communications systems to have back doors really undermines the right for privacy. Lately the Privacy and Security issues are very much talked about and taken in consideration.
No backdoor
Recently we’ve been asked if our encryption software Rohos Mini Drive (freeware) and Rohos Disk Encryption (shareware) have backdoors. Our answer is No. Rohos team claim its encryption programs have no backdoors. So you can sleep safe and sound knowing that nobody will be able to access your encrypted personal data unless you give them the password.
Also we have been asked how we could prove it. The only way to prove it would be to open the source code which we will do, but later and only for our utility Rohos Mini Drive Portable.
Rohos Mini Drive is totally free for the home user and it is the best free encryption security tool that uses NIST approved encryption standard. In other words it has all a home user needs to achieve a good level of computer data privacy.

One of Rohos customers gave us an interesting tip for the program, Rohos Logon Key
Сitation:
“In our office the CPUs are under the tables, but USB cords are out on the tables for USB plugging convenience. When you need to plug in another USB device (for example your camera) the USB key should be temporarily unplugged (there is such option in Natural Login, it’s called keyless mode). It helps to prevent immediate access lock but in return it locks the machine let’s say after 3 minutes”
Now Rohos Logon Key has the same option - for the time being it’s available only through registry (USB_Key_remove_behaviour, see UserGuide).
How it works:
- Upon USB key removal nothing happens.
- In ## seconds (see USB_Key_remove_behaviour) the program locks computer and right away tries to unlock it with USB key.
- If there is no key plugged in, the computer stays locked.
