What is it?
IronKey Basic is designed to be the world’s most secure USB flash drive. Now you can safely
carry your files and data with you wherever you go.
How is it different than a regular flash drive?
Hardware Encryption
Inside your device is the IronKey Cryptochip, which protects your data to the same level as
highly classified government information. This security technology is always on and cannot be
disabled.
Password-Protected
To access your secure data, you unlock the device with a password using the Unlocker software
that is carried on the device. Do not share your password with anyone. That way, even if your
device is lost or stolen, no one else can access your data.
Self-Destruct Sequence
If the Cryptochip detects physical tampering by a hacker, or if 10 consecutive incorrect
password attempts have been entered, it initiates a permanent self-destruct sequence that
securely erases all onboard data using flash-trash technology—
Anti-Malware Autorun Protection
Your device helps protect you from many of the latest malware threats targeting USB flash
drives by detecting and preventing autorun execution of unapproved programs. It can also be
unlocked in Read-Only Mode if you suspect the host computer is infected.
Simple Device Management
Your device includes the IronKey Control Panel, a central management area for accessing your
files, editing your preferences, changing your device password and safely locking your device.
Secure Local Backup and Data Recovery
Securely back up your secure files using the onboard Secure Backup software (Windows only).
It allows you to recover your data to a new IronKey Basic in case this one is ever lost or stolen.
Waterproof and Tamper-Resistant
Designed to survive the extremes, IronKey Basic’s rugged metal encasing is injected with
an epoxy compound that makes it not only tamper-resistant, but waterproof to military
specifications (MIL-STD-810F).
so remember your password.

The computer must have a USB 2.0 port for high-speed data transfer. A USB 1.1 port or
powered hub will also work, but will be slower.
Some applications are available only for specific systems:
» Secure Backup - Windows Only
» Virtual Keyboard - Windows Only
» Auto-Launch Assistant - Mac Only
How do I set up the device?
The setup process is the same for Windows and Mac systems. For Linux systems, see the details
in the section later in this document.

•
The setup software autoruns from a virtual DVD. This screen might not appear if
your computer does not allow devices to autorun. You can start it manually by:
•
WINDOWS: Double-clicking the “IronKey Unlocker” drive in “My Computer”
and launching “IronKey.exe”.
•
MAC: Opening the IronKey Unlocker drive in Finder and opening the IronKey
application in the Mac folder.

•
By default, the IronKey software will use the same language as your computer’s
operating system.
3. Create a device password.
•
Your password is case-sensitive and must be at least 4 characters long.
4. Choose whether to enable Device Reset.
•
If you forget your password and have enabled Device Reset, the device will return
to its initial state after the final password attempt (instead of self-destructing the
device). When reset, all onboard data will be lost, but the device will be reusable.
•
This setting can also be enabled in the Control Panel’s Settings menu; however, it
cannot be configured while the device is locked.
5. The device initializes.
•
During this process, it generates the AES encryption key, creates the file system
for the secure volume, and copies secure applications and files to the secure
volume.
6. When initialization is complete, the IronKey Control Panel appears. Your device is then
ready to protect your data and can be used on a Windows, Mac or Linux computer.
How do I unlock the device?
The unlock process is the same for Windows and Mac systems. For Linux systems, see the
details in the section later in this document.
1. Plug in your device and wait for the Unlocker window to appear.
•
If the Unlocker window does not appear, you can start it manually by:
• WINDOWS: Double-clicking the “IronKey Unlocker” drive in “My Computer”
and launching “IronKey.exe”.
• MAC: Opening the IronKey Unlocker drive in Finder and opening the IronKey.
app application in the Mac folder.
•
NOTE
: On a Mac you can install the Auto-Launch Assistant, which automatically
opens the Unlocker when you plug in an IronKey Basic device.
2. Enter your device password and click “Unlock”.The IronKey Control Panel will appear.
•
Optionally, you can check the Read-Only Mode checkbox to unlock the device in
Read-Only Mode.
•
Entering your password correctly (which is verified in hardware) will mount your
secure volume with all your secure applications and files.
•
Entering the wrong password 10 consecutive times will permanently destroy the
device and all your onboard data (unless Device Reset has already been enabled).
•
As a security precaution, you must unplug and reinsert the device after every
three failed password attempts.
