A USB key is protected by password

The manufacturer Super Talent has unveiled a new USB named DataGuardian. Available in capacities of 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB, USB 2.0 is the ability to protect data entrusted to it. A small program stored in the firmware of the key, automatically launched when it is inserted into a computer, loads in effect asking the password required to access the data.

This operating principle can also inactivate a hypothetical malware that would be configured to start when the key is connected to a PC. SuperTalent has unfortunately not yet given the prices of different versions of the DataGuardian.
