    Transcend JetFlash 220 Fingerprint Security. Review.

    Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

    Recently we were asked by some of our users if it is possible to use a biometric (fingerprint) USB stick in combination with the Rohos Logon Software (for example if it is possible to logon using Rohos after a partition is made visible by a recognised fingerprint).

    As a matter of fact, we have decided to test several Biometric USB flash drives, to discover which of them are compatible with the Rohos Logon Key.

    We would like to present you the Transcend JetFlash 220 USB flash drive 2 Gb (fully compatible with the Rohos Logon) with the embedded fingerprint scanner for biometric access to the secured partiton of the USB drive and included software.

    USB drive - fingerprint security. biometric logon.

    Special features of the device:

    • An advanced technology of fingerprints identification, allowing to register up to 10 fingerprints (even from different people);
    • Biometric or password based security for the secured partition, web site logon, and encrypted files;
    • Data Encryption with AES algorithm based on the 256-bite key.
    • Automatic authorization performed on the web-sites where you have already been registered.
    • There is a program that allows to change the size of the secure partition of the flash drive.
    • The device fully supports Windows 2000, XP and Vista, which was proved by recent tests.
    • You are not able to access the secure partiton without obtaining the Administrator privileges.
    • While the secure partition of the flash drive is open, you are not able to use the un-secure partition of the device and vice-versa.
