2. Introduction

The Kanguru BioAES™ is a biometric 256-bit AES encrypted USB flash drive. It

helps keep sensitive data secure and available wherever you may be.

With the Kanguru BioAES drive you can:

• Copy & encrypt your data using AES 256 Bit encryption.

• Secure all the data by using fingerprint and password protection.

Warning

While using Kanguru BioAES, you should never disconnect the USB drive

without closing Kanguru BioLock interface properly first. Do this via the exit

button and then use the “Safely Remove Hardware” option in Windows (see

description within this manual).

3. Kanguru BioAES Drive

The Kanguru BioAES is a compact biometric 256-bit AES encrypted USB flash drive.

Two-factor authentication makes it one of the most secure ways to transport your

data. The Kanguru BioAES uses a biometric sensor that will recognize up to 10

fingerprints or thumbprints and only after an authorized fingerprint is confirmed and

the correct password is entered can a user access the confidential information.

The Kanguru BioAES, although sophisticated in design and technology, is very easy

to use. The Bio AES comes with a user friendly setup wizard that walks you through

the password setup and fingerprint scanning process. As an added benefit, all saved

passwords, fingerprints, as well as the security program itself are stored directly on

the drive. It can be used with most Windows platforms and you never have to install

anything to use it meaning no administrator privileges are required!
