ROCSAFE ENCRYPTED HARD DRIVE FOR NOTEBOOKS
About this Guide
This guide is designed to provide step-by-step
instructions for installation of Rocsafe and as a reference
for its operation and usage.
1. Product Overview
Rocsecure continues to deliver the next generation
encrypted technologies to drive new levels of security,
performance and ease-of-use in a 2.5” internal Real-Time
encrypted hard drive solutions. Rocsafe 2.5” internal
Hardware encrypted drives are designed to be mounted
within your notebook computer just like the existing hard
disk drive that is currently installed in your notebook.
Rocsafe is a secure storage device that consists of a hard
disk drive and a hardware based encryption module that
encrypts every byte and every sector of data that is
written into the hard disk. Rocsafe is operating system
independent and does not require any software drivers. It
also encrypts all temporary files, as well as areas that
would normally be missed and left in “clear” by software
encryption products. Encryption and decryption occurs
transparently without any loss in disk performance (Real-
Time.) Users simply use their notebooks as usual with the
assurance and complete peace of mind that their data is
fully protected in the unfortunate event that their
notebooks are stolen or lost.
Rocsafe is a hardware-based disk encryption solution that
is both cross-platform compatible and delivers significant
performance improvement over traditional software-based
products. Rocsafe provides full security features in a
standard notebook-mountable 2.5" hard-disk form-factor.
4
Rocsafe is available in 64-bits, 128-bits and 192-bits
3DES encryption engine that encrypts every sector of
data written into the hard disk, including the Master Boot
Record (MBR), Operating System, Temporary files and
Swap files that are normally left in "clear" by traditional
software-based encryption solutions. Rocsafe encrypts
and decrypts all data transparently without any loss in
disk performance. Rocsafe is easy to install and simple to
use. After installation, users use their notebook
computers as usual with the assurance that their data is
fully protected should their computers be lost or stolen.
Peace of Mind Carrying Important Data in Your Notebook
Computer
Rocsecure understands your real-world storage challenges
and we help you meet them with a complete range of
flexible encrypted storage solutions that address all your
critical storage needs both today and into the future.
Rocsafe is specially engineered for those who need to be
concerned about the security of the data in their
notebook computers. Those users include business
executives, lawyers, accountants, doctors, government
officials …or any person carries sensitive information or
secret documents in their notebook computers.
A Highly Secure, Reliable and Cost-Effective
Solution Cross Platform Compatibility
Rocsafe does not require hardware modifications or
software installations. I t is operating system independent
(tested with Windows
®
XP, 2000, Me, 98, 98SE and
Linux), driver-less, and has been tested on leading
brands of notebook computers (including Acer, Dell,
IBM, Sony and Toshiba). Rocsafe installation is extremely
easy. Users simply replace their old 2.5" hard disk with
Rocsafe, perform a simple one-time setup procedure, and
5
they are ready to go.
Significant Performance Improvement
Rocsafe eliminates platform dependency issues
completely and offers the following performance
improvements over traditional software-based disk
encryption solutions:
The encryption and decryption operations are totally
transparent to users. Users do not have to change their
computing behavior.
All the data written into the Rocsafe is encrypted in realtime using hardware, prior to actual storage, leaving no
data in "clear". By performing security operations in
hardware, Rocsafe cannot be compromised by software
attacks such as Viruses and Trojans.
The total cost of ownership is minimized because no
software installations, upgrades, or patches are ever
required. Moreover the product does not require user
training or maintenance.
The 3DES encryption engine by Enova X-Wall is certified
by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
of the USA and CSE (Communications Security
Establishment) of the government of Canada
Pre-Boot Authentication - Single- or Two-Factor
Rocsafe authenticates the user every time the notebook
computer powers on or resumes from hibernation. The
notebook computer will only boot into the Operating
System upon successful authentication. Rocsafe offers
two authentication modes - Single-Factor using a
Password only, or Two-Factor using the Roc-crypt USB
token and a Password.
6
Single-Factor Authentication:
In this mode of Authentication, the user is prompted for
a Password at the pre-boot stage after power-on. Rocsafe
grants access to the user if the correct password is
presented.
Two-Factor Authentication:
In this mode of Authentication, the user is prompted for
the keyCrypt
®
USB cryptographic token (something you
have), as well as the password for the token (something
you know). Rocsafe grants access only if the correct
token and password is presented.
Migration
The Rocsafe Toolkit enables the user to migrate
seamlessly from the original hard disk to Rocsafe,
preserving the software operating environment without
additional modification of the notebook computer.
Data Backup
The Rocsafe Toolkit also allows the user to mirror
periodic and incremental snapshots of the hard disk
onto another external drive can be stored securely,
ensuring business continuity in the unfortunate event of
a notebook being lost or stolen.
