[FDE] FIPS IronKey fully encrypted USB Flash Drive.

[Dennis Kezer]

And that was the fourth option I failed to mention in my message.  Glad you
are going through the process.  It looks like a good product, but some of us
are constrained by regulation on what can be used.  I have been through most
of the site and can't seem to find if the product works with more than
Windows clients.  Will it support Mac, Linux, Solaris, etc?

We very specifically say "Compliant" rather than "Validated" on our website.

 

We are working with a lab to assist us through the FIPS 140-1 validation
process.

 

We says FIPS Compliant on the website, rather than FIPS Validated, because
we have crypto components that have passed FIPS validation, but our overall
product is in process.  Once the full product has been validated, we will
update the site from Compliant to Validated.

Looks interesting, but I notice they say "FIPS Compliant" rather than "FIPS
Validated." This means lack the money to go through the validation process,
lack the confidence they could pass the validation process, or the person
who designed their web page did not know the difference. Lacking a
validated implementation of AES means they can't be used to protect
sensitive federal government data.
