What is it?

Meet the IronKey

IronKey Basic is designed to be the world’s most secure USB ash drive.
Now you can safely carry your les and data with you wherever you go.

And even if your IronKey is lost or stolen, your data remains protected
and can even be restored to a new IronKey from an encrypted backup.
While it uses some of today’s most advanced security technologies, it is
simple to use and you only need to remember one password to unlock it.

PAGE 3IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

Core Features

Hardware-Encrypted Flash Drive

Your IronKey can safely store gigabytes of documents, applications, les

and other data. The IronKey Cryptochip inside the IronKey protects your

data to the same level as highly classied government information. This

encryption technology is always on and cannot be disabled.

Self-Destruct Sequence

If the IronKey Cryptochip detects physical tampering by a thief or a
hacker, it initiates a self-destruct sequence. Also, to protect against brute
force password attacks, after 10 consecutive incorrect password attempts,

it securely erases all onboard data using patent-pending ash-trash

technology—so remember your password.

Anti-Malware Autorun Protection

Your IronKey helps protect you from many of the latest malware threats

targeting USB ash drives. It detects and prevents autorun execution of

unapproved programs, and it can be unlocked in Read-Only Mode.

Portable Cross-Platform Data Access

The IronKey Unlocker allows you to access your encrypted les on

Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Mac OS X and numerous distributions of Linux.

Simple Device Management

Your IronKey includes the IronKey Control Panel, a central management

area for accessing your les, editing your preferences, changing your

device password and safely locking your IronKey.

Secure Local Backup and Data Recovery

Securely back up the data on your IronKey using IronKey’s Secure Backup
software. It allows you to recover you data to a new IronKey in case
your IronKey is ever lost or stolen, or to synchronize data between
multiple IronKeys.

Waterproof and Tamper-Resistant

The IronKey was designed to survive the extremes. The IronKey’s rugged
encasing is injected with an epoxy compound that makes it not only
tamper-resistant, but waterproof to military specications (MIL-STD-810F).

Section 508 compliance

The IronKey Control Panel is Section 508 compliant. Users with
disabilities have keyboard navigation and screen reader support.

Device Diagrams

The IronKey has been designed from the ground up with security in mind.
A combination of advanced security technologies are used to ensure
that only you can access your data. Additionally, the IronKey has been
designed to be physically secure, to prevent hardware-level attacks and
tampering, as well as to make the device rugged and long-lasting. You can
rest assured that your data is secured when you carry an IronKey.

Cap

USB 2.0

Connector

This IronKey Cryptochip is hardened against physical attacks such as

power attacks and bus snifng. It is physically impossible to tamper with

its protected data or reset the password counter. If the Cryptochip
detects a physical attack from a hacker, it destroys the encryption keys,

making the stored encrypted les inaccessible.

PAGE 5IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

Technical and Security Notes

We are endeavoring to be very open about the security architecture and
technology that we use in designing and building the IronKey. There is
no hocus-pocus or handwaving here. We use established cryptographic
algorithms, we develop threat models, and we perform security analyses

(internal and third party) of our systems all the way through design,

development and deployment.

IRONKEY DEVICE SECURITY

Data Encryption Keys

» AES key generated by onboard Random Number Generator
» AES key generated by customer at initialization time and encrypted
» AES key never leaves the hardware and is not stored in NAND ash

Self-Destruct Data Protection

» Secure volume does not mount until password is veried in hardware
» Password try-counter implemented in tamper-resistant hardware
» Once password try-count is exceeded, all data is erased by hardware

Additional Security Features

» USB command channel encryption to protect device communications

Physically Secure

» Solid, rugged case
» Encryption keys stored in the tamper-resistant IronKey Cryptochip
» All chips are protected by epoxy-based potting compound
» Exceeds military waterproof standards (MIL-STD-810F)

Device Password Protection

The device password is hashed using salted SHA-256 before being
transmitted to the IronKey Secure Flash Drive over a secure and unique
USB channel. It is stored in an extremely inaccessible location in the

protected hardware. The hashed password is validated in hardware (there

is no “getPassword” function that can retrieve the hashed password), and
only after the password is validated is the AES encryption key unlocked.
The password try-counter is also implemented in hardware to prevent
memory rewind attacks. Typing your password incorrectly too many times

initiates a patent-pending “ash-trash” self-destruct sequence, which is run

in hardware rather than using software, ensuring the ultimate protection
for your data.

PAGE 11IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

USING THE IRONKEY UNLOCKER ON LINUX

Use the IronKey Unlocker for Linux to access your les and change your device password
on Linux, allowing you to securely transfer les from and between Windows, Mac, and Linux

computers. You can use the other IronKey applications on a Windows computer.

Depending on your Linux distribution, you might need root privileges to use the program
“ironkey” found in the Linux folder of the mounted virtual CD-ROM. If you have only one
IronKey attached to the system, simply run the program from a command shell with no
arguments (e.g. ironkey). If you have multiple IronKeys, you must specify the device name of
the one you want to unlock.

NOTE: ironkey only unlocks the secure volume; it must then be mounted. Many modern
Linux distributions do this automatically; if not, run the mount program from the command line,
using the device name printed by ironkey.
To change the password of the IronKey named “devicename,” enter:

ironkey --changepwd [devicename]

To lock the IronKey named “devicename,” enter:

ironkey --lock [devicename]

To unlock the IronKey in Read-Only Mode, enter:

ironkey --read-only

To unlock the IronKey with the password “devicepassword,” enter:

ironkey --password [devicepassword]

Simply unmounting the device does not automatically lock the secure volume. To lock the

device, you must either unmount and physically remove (unplug) it, or else run:

ironkey --lock

Please note the following important details for using your IronKey on Linux:

1. Kernel Version must be 2.6 or higher

If you compile your own kernel, you must include the following in it:

» DeviceDrivers->SCSIDeviceSupport-><*>SCSICDROMSupport
» DeviceDrivers-><*> Support for Host-side USB
» DeviceDrivers-><*> USB device lesystem
» DeviceDrivers-><*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
» DeviceDrivers-><*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
» DeviceDrivers-><*> USB Mass Storage Support

The kernels that are included by default in most major distributions already have these features,
so if you are using the default kernel that comes with a supported distribution you do not need
to take any other action.

Also, on 64-bit linux systems the 32-bit libraries must be installed in order to run the ironkey
program.

PAGE 12IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

2. Mounting problems

Make sure you have permissions to mount external SCSI and USB devices

» Some distributions do not mount automatically and require the following command to

be run:

mount /dev/<name of the device> /media/<name of the mounted

device>

» The name of the mounted device varies depending on the distribution. The names of

the IronKey devices can be discovered by running:

ironkey --show

3. Permissions

You must have permissions to mount external/usb/ash devices

» You must have permissions to run executables off the IronKey CD-ROM in order to

launch the IronKey Unlocker

» You might need root user permissions

4. Supported distributions

Not all distributions of Linux are supported. Please visit https://support.ironkey.com/linux for the
latest list of supported distributions.

5. The IronKey Unlocker for Linux only supports x86 systems at this time.

See https://support.ironkey.com/linux for more information.

ACTIVATING IRONKEY ENTERPRISE

If requested by your system administrator, users with IronKey Basic devices can activate IronKey
Enterprise. Activating IronKey Enterprise helps organizations to remotely manage IronKey
devices with a suite of security software and online services. See the “IronKey Enterprise User
Guide” on your device for information about IronKey Enterprise features.

IMPORTANT: Only begin this process if your system administrator has asked you to activate
IronKey Enterprise.

PAGE 13IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

USING THE IRONKEY CONTROL PANEL (WINDOWS AND MAC)

The IronKey Control Panel is a central
location for:

» Accessing your secure les
» Launching Secure Backup software

(Windows only)

» Conguring your IronKey settings
» Changing your IronKey password
» Reformatting your IronKey
» Safely locking your device

Most of the Control Panel’s options
are located in the “Settings” menu.

NOTE: The Windows version of the
IronKey Control Panel is shown.

# Step Description

1 Creating, editing, deleting secure les When you click “Secure Files” in the IronKey Control

Panel, the default browser on your computer opens
directly to your secure volume.

All les on your IronKey are strongly encrypted with
military-grade AES encryption. Encrypting les is as simple
as moving them into the secure volume. Dragging les
onto your desktop decrypts them on-the-y in hardware.

The IronKey gives you the convenience of working as you

normally would with a regular ash drive, while providing

strong and “always-on” security.

2 Conguring your preferences Click “Settings” to congure your preferences.

»

You can set a device time-out to automatically lock your

IronKey after a specied period of inactivity.

»

You can reformat your secure volume.

»

You can congure your device to reset after too many

consecutive incorrect password attempts instead of self­destructing. This allows you to continue using your device
if you forget your password.

»

You can install the IronKey Auto-Launch Assistant,

which automatically opens the IronKey Unlocker when you

plug in an IronKey. (Mac only)

PAGE 14IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

# Step Description

3 Creating a Lost and Found Message This feature allows you to create a message that appears

on the IronKey Unlocker window. In the event that you
lose your IronKey, someone can return it to you if you
provide your contact information.

4 Changing your device password You can change your device password, that you use to

unlock your IronKey. Changing your password on a regular
basis is a good security practice. However, be especially
careful to remember your IronKey password.

5 Viewing device details You can view details about your device, including model

number, serial number, software and rmware version,
secure les drive, and OS. You can also click the copy
button (CTRL+C) to copy device details to the clipboard

for your forum posting or support request; visit the

website (CTRL+W); or view legal notices (CTRL+N) and
certications (CTRL+?).

6 Adding, renaming, and removing

applications to the Applications List

You can right-click anywhere in the Applications List, and
click to add, rename, or delete items in the list.

» Mac: Applications installed on the secure volume are

automatically added to the list (default: empty).

» Items in the list are shortcuts to actual les. Managing the
items in the list does not alter the actual le.

» Items are automatically sorted alphabetically.

» Any le can be added to the list, including documents,
images, and batch les.

» For items that are not applications, Windows opens the

item with the default program associated with that letype.

7 Locking and unplugging the IronKey Clicking “Lock Drive” (Windows, CTRL+L) or “Lock &

Quit” (Mac) exits open IronKey applications and locks the

device. It is then safe to unplug it from your computer.

Ensure that you close all open applications and les before

locking your IronKey to prevent data corruption.

PAGE 15IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

USING THE SECURE BACKUP SOFTWARE (WINDOWS ONLY)

If your IronKey is lost or stolen,
you have peace of mind knowing

that your condential information

cannot be seen by anyone but you.
Getting your data back is simple with
IronKey’s Secure Backup software,
which securely restores your data to
a new or existing IronKey.

Secure Backup works by saving an
encrypted backup of some or all

of your IronKey les to your local

computer. You can also restore one

or all of your les.

# Step Description

1 Backing up your IronKey You can create an encrypted backup of a single le or your

entire IronKey to your local computer.

Click the “Secure Backup” button in the IronKey Control

Panel, select which les to back up, and choose where those
les should be backed up to (destination folder). It’s that

simple.

2 Restoring encrypted backups If you ever lose your IronKey, you can restore your data from

an encrypted backup.

Open the Secure Backup software, select the location on
your local computer where the backup is located, and select

which les/folders to restore. If the data is coming from a

different IronKey, you will have to supply the device password
for that IronKey.

PAGE 16IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

USING THE IRONKEY VIRTUAL KEYBOARD (WINDOWS ONLY)

If you are using your IronKey on an unfamiliar computer and are concerned about keylogging
and screenlogging spyware, use the IronKey Virtual Keyboard, which helps protects your
passwords by letting you click out letters and numbers. The underlying techniques in the
IronKey Virtual Keyboard will bypass many trojans, keyloggers, and screenloggers.

The IronKey Virtual Keyboard can be launched in a couple of ways:

»

In places where you enter a password into the IronKey (e.g. the IronKey Unlocker, changing

your device password, initializing your device), click the Virtual Keyboard icon

»

Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+ V

The IronKey Virtual Keyboard can be used in a number of other applications when you need

extra security typing out information (e.g. email, documents).

# Step Description

1 Click the IronKey Virtual Keyboard

icon.

The IronKey Virtual Keyboard
appears. Alternatively, you can press

CTRL+ALT+ V.

2 Click the keys to type your password.

Click “Enter” when you are nished.

3 You can optionally click the

“Randomize” button to randomize
where the keys are. This helps
protect against screenloggers.

You can use the IronKey Virtual Keyboard in conjunction
with the actual keyboard, so that you type some characters
and click some characters.

When you click a key in the Virtual Keyboard, all of the
keys go blank. This feature prevents screenloggers from
capturing what you clicked.

If you do not want to use this feature, you can disable it in
the options menu next to the close button.

In the options menu, you can also congure the Virtual

Keyboard to automatically launch when it encounters

password elds.

PAGE 17IRONKEY BASIC USER GUIDE

USING YOUR IRONKEY IN READ-ONLY MODE (WINDOWS, MAC, LINUX)

You can unlock your IronKey in a read-only state such that les on your IronKey cannot be
edited. An example of when this is useful is when you want to access a le on your IronKey

while using an untrusted or unknown computer. If you unlock your IronKey in Read-Only
Mode, you need not fear that malware on that machine will infect your IronKey or modify your

les.

When you unlock your IronKey in Read-Only Mode, you will remain in Read-Only Mode until
you lock your IronKey.

Note that some features are not available in Read-Only Mode because they require modifying

les on your IronKey. Examples of unavailable features include reformatting, updating and
restoring applications and les to your IronKey, and using the Applications List.

On Windows and Mac OS X Computers:

# Step Description

1 When unlocking your IronKey, select the

“Unlock IronKey in Read-Only Mode”
checkbox.
