Encrypting Files and Folders
2.5 Encrypting Files and Folders
A key feature of the Defender Elite200 is drag & drop encryption; allowing you to simply drag files that

Updating Your Defender Elite200
3. Updating Your Defender Elite200
Updates for your Defender Elite200 flash drive’s client application may be released from time to time.
To view the version of the KDMElite200 client application currently running on your drive, see section
2.11 About KDMElite200 on page 31.
Please check whether your Defender Elite200 is being managed by Kanguru Remote Management
Console (KRMC), as the update process is different for enterprise edition and standard edition drives.
3.1 Updating Standard Edition Drives
Standard edition Defender Elite200 drives will automatically check the Kanguru Central Server (KCS)
for client updates. Once you have successfully logged into your Defender Elite200’s secure partition,
KDMElite200 will check KCS for any available client updates. If an update is available, you will receive
a pop-up notification with instructions for downloading the updater file.
Note: The drive will only check KCS if it is connected to a computer with internet access.
Standard edition Defender Elite200 users can also manually search and download available client
updaters from the Kanguru Support site. Defender Elite200 client updaters can be found under the ‘USB
Client Software Updates’ forum in the ‘Software Downloads and Updaters’ section (support.kanguru.
com).
3.2 Updating KRMC Enterprise Edition Drives
Enterprise edition Defender Elite200 drives are managed by the Kanguru Remote Management Console
(KRMC). Updaters for enterprise edition Defender Elite200 drives are available for download from
the Kanguru Support site. The KRMC system administrator is granted access to the enterprise edition
downloads when their KRMC order is processed. Enterprise edition updaters can be found under the
‘KRMC Enterprise’ forum in the ‘Software Downloads and Updaters’ section (support.kanguru.com).
Once you have downloaded your enterprise edition updater, you can create an ‘Upgrade Client
Application’ action in KRMC to remotely deploy the update to all of your managed drives.
Note: Only KRMC administrators are given access to download the enterprise edition updaters.

Verifying the Download Checksum
3.3 Verifying the download checksum
To verify the integrity of the KDMElite200 updater that you downloaded, please use the SHA256
Checksum tool. The SHA256 Checksum tool will generate a 64-character checksum which can be
verified against the checksum list published by Kanguru Solutions. This ensures that the updater file
was downloaded correctly and wasn’t altered.
The SHA256 Checksum tool and a list of valid checksum values can be found on Kanguru’s Support
site: https://kanguru.zendesk.com/entries/21747773-sha256-checksum-utility
To view and verify your download’s checksum:
1. Download the SHA256 Checksum tool from the Kanguru Solutions’ support site.
2. Save the SHA256 Checksum tool to the same directory that KDMElite200 updater file is saved in.
3. Open a command prompt window by clicking on Start → All Programs →Accessories →
Command Prompt.
4. Within the command prompt window, navigate to the directory containing your KDMElite200
updater file and the SHA256 Checksum tool.
5. Type “sha256.exe <filename.exe>”, where <filename.exe> is the name of the updater file that you
are checking.
6. Press the Enter key. A 64-character string appears. This is the SHA256 checksum of the updater.
7. Verify that the checksum generated by the SHA256 Checksum tool matches the checksum published
by Kanguru Solutions for your updater version.
If the checksum generated by the SHA256 Checksum tool matches the checksum published, then your
updater downloaded correctly. If the checksum generated does not match the checksum published by
Kanguru Solutions, please delete the updater from your computer and download it again.

Common Criteria Certified Versions
Appendix A - Common Criteria Certified Versions
The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, referred to more commonly
as Common Criteria, is an international standard for computer security. Common Criteria provides
an international set of guidelines for evaluating data security products, ensuring that they meet strict,
security standards for government deployments.
Defender Elite200s with the following specifications have been certified by Common Criteria:
• Client software version : 2.0.0.0
• Firmware version : 02.03.10
Important! Defender Elite200s running these specific client software and firmware versions have been
certified by Common Criteria. If you update the client software version to a newer version, your device
will no longer be Common Criteria certified.
The Defender Elite200’s firmware version is specific to the device’s hardware. The firmware version
is not accessible to the user. You are not able to view, update or modify the firmware version on your
Defender Elite200 in any way.
Updates to the Defender Elite200’s client software are released by Kanguru Solutions regularly. To
prevent you from accidentally updating your device to a non-Common Criteria certified client version,
the client application’s auto-update feature has been disabled on Common Criteria certified Defender
Elite200s. For more information about updating your Defender Elite200’s client software version, please
see Chapter 3. Updating Your Defender Elite200 on page 33.

Appendix B - Proxy Support
If your computer uses a proxy server to access the internet, the correct proxy information will need to
be configured in KDMElite200.
If the KDMElite200 client application cannot connect to the internet you will see the following error
message:
If the computer that the Defender Elite200 is connected to uses a proxy server to access the internet,
click on the Yes button. KDMElite200 will try to read the proxy server information from the computer’s
configuration.
Proxy Support
• If KDMElite200 is able to determine your proxy server’s address and no authentication is required
then KDMElite200 will read this information and connect to the internet as normal.
• If KDMElite200 is able to determine your proxy server’s address but the proxy requires authentication
then you will need to enter your credentials in the window that appears.
• If KDMElite200 is unable to determine your proxy server’s address then you will need to enter the
proxy server address, proxy type and credentials:
Enter the proxy address and the port to connect to in the address field (e.g. 192.168.0.193:8080 or
proxycomp:8080). Select your proxy type and then enter your credentials. If KDMElite200 is able
to connect to the proxy server using those credentials then the authentication information is saved
in an encrypted proxy settings file.
Note: Proxy information must be configured once for each computer the Defender Elite200 is connected
to that connects to the internet through a proxy server.
