2.1. About Rocsafe MX
Congratulations on your purc ase of Rocsecure Rocsafe MX. Rocsafe MX represents t e most advanced secure
Mobile storage solution today, utilizing smart card aut entication tec nology and AES 128/256 bits full disk
encryption. Wit Rocsafe MX Mobile, you can enjoy Mobile storage wit t e speed and convenience of bot USB
2.0 and FireWire 400/800 in a compact form factor, and be assured t at your data is safe from prying eyes.
Rocsafe MX is a secure portable ard drive enclosure consisting of a 2.5” SATA ard drive enclosure and a
ardware-based encryption module t at performs full disk encryption, i.e. it encrypts every byte and every sector
of data t at is written into t e ard drive. T e device is designed to fit standard 2.5” ard drives wit a SATA
interface, and communicates wit t e computer via eit er standard USB 2.0 ports or FireWire 400/800 ports. By
encrypting every single byte and sector, Rocsafe MX is operating system independent and does not require any
software drivers. It also encrypts all temporary files, as well as areas t at would normally be missed and left “in t e
clear” by software encryption products. Encryption and decryption occurs transparently wit out any loss in disk
performance. Users simply use t eir computers as usual wit t e assurance and complete piece of mind t at t eir
data is fully protected in t e unfortunate event t at t eir ard drives are stolen or lost.
Rocsafe MX stores t e ard drive encryption key in smart cards (two are provided per unit). Smart card tec nology
is well understood and represents t e ig est level of security possible for secure data storage. It is vastly more
secure t an ot er solutions t at use ardware tokens, w ere t e encryption key is stored in insecure memory t at
can be easily duplicated. In contrast, smart cards store t e encryption key securely wit in, and can only be
accessed upon presentation of a valid PIN. T e user will need bot t e smart card as well as knowledge of its PIN
to be able to access t e data in t e connected ard drive. By doing so, Rocsafe MX enforces two-factor
aut entication, w ic is a ig er security protection by ensuring t at t e user possesses bot t e p ysical Smart
Card and t e knowledge of its PIN.
T e user is required to aut enticate im or erself eac time Rocsafe MX is plugged into t e computer. After
aut entication, t e drive presents itself to t e operating system and t e user is granted normal drive access.
