Overview

The CipherUSB works by encrypting data using a 256-bit algorithm set
by a password key. It encrypts files by overwriting the same sectors used
by the file with encrypted data, then renaming the file with a new
filename extension. The CipherUSB comes new in a pass-through mode,
and will not function until a password is set using the software utility.

Two-Factor Authentication

Once a CipherUSB with Two-Factor authentication (CAUF1W-2,
CAUF1M-2, CAUF2W-2, CAUF2M-2) has been activated with a
password, it will not allow the storage to connect to the operating system
until the CipherUSB Utility has been run once and the correct password
is given. The CipherUSB will only accept the password it was
programmed with during the Initial Setup process. These models include
an emulated CDROM Drive that will auto-start the CipherUSB Utility,
which immediately prompts for the password.

Initial Setup

This procedure only needs to be done when setting up the CipherUSB
for the first time, or when a new password is desired. The CipherUSB will
retain the last password it was programmed with and models without
Two-Factor Authentication do not require any driver or software to work.

1. Connect the CipherUSB to a computer running Windows, and connect
a USB storage device into the CipherUSB. The CipherUSB will not
respond until a working storage device is connected to its USB device
port.

2. For models without Two-Factor Authentication, insert the CipherUSB
password utility disc. If an Autorun menu appears, select "Run
CipherUSB.exe" or browse to your CD drive using Windows Explorer
and launch the CipherUSB program. If you are setting up the
CipherUSB for the first time, the following dialog box should appear:

3. Click OK to proceed to the utility. Choose a password as short or as
long (up to 32 characters) as desired, and enter it into the “Setup” and
“Confirm” fields. Then click Start.
