Now you can protect your data with the same kind of encryption the NSA uses for all their top secret documents, with the GoldKey.

The GoldKey features 256bit AES hardware encryption, and it includes software that recognizes the key and encrypts your files and folders into encrypted volumes that are only accessible if you have your personalized GoldKey and the password you entered. It doesn’t have its own storage, but it lets you encrypt files on your hard drive, optical media or USB thumb-drives.

All you have to do is insert the GoldKey into your PC, and the small amount of on-board storage launches the encrypted-volume manager and shows all the encrypted volumes available.

You can then click on one of those volumes and decrypt it, or select files on your own file systems to add to a new encrypted volume. Pull the GoldKey out, and those files automatically lock. It’s ridiculously easy.

Here’s the specs

• USB 2.0 (1.1 Compatible)
• 256bit-AES
