Home > Products > DigiDrive/Flash Memory Reader > Cipher UDD (Ultra DigiDrive)

The Addonics Cipher UDD is one of the most advanced Flash memory readers/writers that provide data security in ATA Flash and PCMCIA hard drives and a variety of popular Flash media. Designed with the Addonics bullet proof hardware encryption technologies, the Cipher UDD encrypts/decrypts data on the fly via a hardware key. There is no special software to install or password to remember. Once encrypted, Flash media appears as a blank media when it is accessed by other Flash reader/writers, cameras, or any Flash equipment, thus preventing unauthorized access to any confidential or sensitive data.

Built on the same platform as the Pocket UDD, the Cipher UDD offers the same interface flexibility via either USB 2.0 or eSATA port by attaching the appropriate Addonics USIB interface cables. Since the encryption and decryption do not require any special software, the Cipher UDD can be used in practically any system that has an eSATA port or USB port, providing excellent portability and convenience while ensuring data security to your Flash media.

* Flash media with multi-mode DMA such as the SanDisk Ultra, Ultra II are not supported at this time. PCMCIA adapters from other manufacturers may not work in the Cipher UDD.

Key Features

Encryption features

• Hardware based 64-bit DES, 128-bit or 192-bit TDES full disk encryption
• High performance - Data is encrypted and decrypted on the fly by a certified cryptographic engine inside an ASIC without taking any CPU resources
• Encryption / Decryption via a hardware key  , just like using a regular key to open a door.
  To enable the encryption and access the drive, simply insert the Cipher key into the keyhole of the Jupiter Cipher enclosure prior to turn on the power.
• Simple to deploy with no training required, no software to install and no password to remember
• Platform independency - There is no software or driver to install to use Addonics encryption products. As a result, it can be deployed in any systems running any OS. This is important in organization with multi platform computing and legacy systems.
• Addonics hardware encryption is based on the eNova's XO DES/TDES Cryptographic engine that has been certified by NIST, FIPS and CSE. These certificates are available on NIST web links: (http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/des/desval.html and http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/des/tripledesval.html).

Reader/Writer features

• USB 2.0, USB 1.1, or eSATA compliant
• Power directly from USB port or optional AC/DC power adapter
• Read and write to PCMCIA hard drive, ATA Flash.
• Read / Write to CF-I, CF-II via Addonics optional CF DigiAdapter.
• Read / Write Smart Memory™, Memory Stick™, MicroDrive™, Multimedia Card™, Secure Digital Card™ via Addonics Cipher UDD 4-in-1 DigiAdapter
  
• Up to 480 Mbits/sec (60 MB/sec) data transfer for USB 2.0
• Up to 150 Mbits/sec (150 MB/sec) data transfer for eSATA
• USB version works under Windows 98SE, 2000, Me, XP, 2003 server, Linux Kernel 2.4 and above, Mac OS X and above, Solaris 9 or above.
• Serial ATA version works under DOS, Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, XP, 2003 server, Mac OS X and above, Linux Kernel 2.4 and above, Solaris 9 and above

* Access of XD Card™ requires optional CF adapter from Fuji or Olympus.

(1) Serial ATA hot swap feature works only with controllers basing on Silicon Image chip set from our inhouse testing. Other controllers that are not Silicon Image based may not support hot swap. You may consider adding one of the Addonics Serial ATA host controllers to your systems to ensure the hot swap capability. New controllers from Intel and other suppliers may finally support this feature. Please verify with your controller manufacturer if you need to have hot swap in your application. Hot swap is supported in Windows 2000 and XP only. On other OS, drive can be removed without crashing system. But replacing with a different drive can result in crashing the OS.

Security Key management

There is no back door for the Cipher UDD encrypted Flash media if the key is lost or stolen. To ensure there is a spare key, every Cipher UDD bundled kit comes with one pair of Addonics Cipher keys. One of these keys should be kept in a safe and secure location and can be sent back to Addonics for duplicating additional keys. If you are down to the last key, be sure to make a back up of all the data stored inside your encrypted Flash media prior to sending the last key to Addonics. Addonics is not responsible for key lost in the mail or retrieval of the data inside the encrypted Flash media.

For organization with large deployment, you may consider managing your own keys by investing into a Addonics Cipher key duplicating system.
