The DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD ( HS128 / 256) is currently the
best solution to save data at a high standard of security and mobility.
Thanks to the full disk hardware encryption according to the AES standard
and the two-factor authentication, the DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY
HDD combines the benets of mobile data media with highest security
standard for data privacy.
The hardware-based encryption module, integrated in the security
enclosure performs a full disk encryption. It encrypts every byte and
every sector that is written on the HDD according to AES standard
(128/ 256 bit).
About the DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD
The DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD encrypts additionally to all stored
data even temporary les as well as areas that would normally not be
noticed by encryption software.
The AES key is on the Smart Card. In case of loss or theft it is not possible
to read out the AES key neither from the enclosure nor from the HDD.
The DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD provides best possible protection
besides the hardware based encryption by a two-factor authentication.
English
5
The two-factor authentication works according to the
“Having and Knowing Method”:
Factor 1 (Having): veries, if the user has a Smart Card with the correct
AES key.
Factor 2 (Knowing): veries, if the user knows the correct 8-digit PIN and
consequently is authorized to use this Smart Card.
The Smart Card will be locked forever and disabled automatically if the
8-digit PIN was entered wrongly 8 times. Data stored on the Smart Card
will be destroyed irrevocably.
The embedded 2.5” SATA hard drive makes the mobile data safe small and
handy. Thanks to data transfer and power supply using USB or FireWire
and the hard ware encryption it is possible to use this storage medium
independent of an operating system or platform.

The DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD functions with a two-factor
authentication process to avoid unauthorized access to the HDD and data
stored on it.
With this process the authorization of the user will be veried to exclude
misuse. The vercation works with two factors according to the “Having
and Knowing Method”:
Factor 1 (Having): veries if the user has a Smart Card with the correct
AES key. This vercation takes place by inserting the Smart Card into the
HDD enclosure. Two Smart Cards are included in delivery.
Factor 2 (Knowing): veries if the user knows the correct 8-digit PIN and
consequently is authorized to use this Smart Card. This vercation takes
place by the PIN entry. After activating the DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY
HDD successfully it needs to be unblocked for use.
Therefore insert the Smart Card into the Smart Card Slot in direction of
arrow.
If a valid Smart Card is inserted, the “STATUS” ashes once. Afterwards
the keypad is lighted and ready for PIN entry.

With additional programs it could be possible to write on le systems, on
which it usually is not possible.
The DIGITTRADE Security Hard Dive is at the time of delivery already
preformatted in the NTFS le system. In the table above you can see the
compatibility of NTFS to your operating system. Should NTFS not be
suitable to your operating system, you will have to format the HDD again
(see chapter: “Partitioning / formatting”, p. 41).
For windows users we recommend using NTFS. For Mac OS X is HFS+ the
most powerful le system and for Linux you should use EXT3. Naturally,
it is also possible to format the DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD with
every other le system. This does not affect the security features.
If you want to use the hard drive using different operating systems,
we recommend to use the FAT32 le system, since it can be read and
written by almost every operating system. However, it will cause
reductions in the maximum le size and partition size. Furthermore there
will be performance differences.
