Προστασία σε USB, (Απρίλιος 2010), Σ. Σχετάκης
“Κρυπτογραφήστε τα δεδοµένα σας, και σε φορητά µέσα αποθήκευσης
Η τεράστια πτώση τιµής που παρουσιάζουν τα USB flash drives και η πρακτικότητα που προσφέρουν για εύκολη µεταφορά δεδοµένων, τα έχουν κάνει αναπόσπαστο κοµµάτι της καθηµερινότητάς µας. Αν προσθέσουµε το γεγονός ότι χρησιµοποιούνται και για µεταφορά προσωπικών ή σηµαντικών αρχείων, τότε σίγουρα θα δηµιουργήσουν πονοκέφαλο σε όποιον τα χάσει και κυρίως αν τα αρχεία αυτά πέσουν σε άγνωστα χέρια…”

Rohos Logon Key has been reviewed by Frederick Barton on 09 Mar 2012. Based on the user interface, features and complexity, Findmysoft has rated Rohos Logon Key 5 out of 5 stars, naming it Essential

“Rohos Logon Key – Protect your computer from unauthorized access with a USB flash drive
There is more than one way to protect a computer, but there is also more than one way to break into it. A password can be cracked, overheard or figured out. If you protect your computer with something physical, which you can carry around with you, no one will be able to use your computer, no matter how skilled he may be. With Rohos Logon Key, you can convert a standard USB flash drive into a security token for your computer. When you start your computer, you will not be able to log in, unless you plug in the flash drive. ”

by Mr John A. Fensom, 2009

Comments:

Why? I find Rohos Logon Key so useful.

1st]  Most important to me is simple and clear instructions of use. (Contained within the programme or it’s help file.)

2nd] Simplicity of use, THIS IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST USB key program for logging on, that I have EVER tried. This is exceptional for anyone who is disabled. For the following (Paragraph 2 sub-numbered) reasons.

2a} Users can create as complex a password (as they like) and then only ever need to use it ONLY once! Thereafter it can be stored away [and thus hidden from prying eyes, in your SAFE, or a metal Lock-up box, and only rarely IF EVER required. See 3 below.]

2b} For users who are disabled (such as myself) simply inserting the key then adding just a four digit code, logs you in in mere seconds rather than in taking ages or having to re-attempt ‘mistyped passwords’ several times or more! For myself who has serious problems with spinal nerve damage affecting the use of my hands, on the keyboard(s). ***** This is a SUPERB feature!

3rd] Ease of use and super security, along with the ability to recover things IFF (<- = if & only if) the user ever loses  their USB key.

I’ve been using computers for twenty-nine years and this is probably one of the best, (if NOT the BEST!) ever programme I have tested or used. It took me (a seriously disabled person) only three minutes to install reboot and use!

“One of the many problems with keeping secure is that when you use a strong password, it can be hard to remember and annoying to input… Rohos offers an interesting alternative… In essence, the software allows you to create a physical key that you need to plug into your Mac in order to unlock it. You could even attach it to a keychain. Very clever…”

Comments:

it works like a dream, just sit back and see the program do the login.

I think that is a very good idea! Keep me posted. We have some people here that login from their home using an ADSL-VPN connection, i was thinking of letting them use USB-keys to login as it is far better protection.

Older reveiews and user’s opinions:

by Mbirth, moderator at www.se-community.com
2005. (auto-translated by google)
Comments:

– completely different log on screen , but with usericon, etc.. – everything freely configurable
– alternative Logon with password possible (optional)
– configuration program mackte on my test computer rum (uses the MSIE for the interface)
– does not need to be really installed – simply to copy, exe start, to “Activte Rohos Welcome” click and already funktioniert’s – the return to the normal log in screen is just as simple
– are also here completely adjustable action with the separation of the USB stick (barriers, Ausloggen, state of rest, Runterfahren)
– 50% discount for student

Thus, now after the test I find Rohos Welcome best, because one can adapt the appearance there freely after its conceptions and it is also otherwise optically responding. Natural Login is also not bad, but the “Keyless time” and the missing possibility of being able to log in via normal username and password lets it fall in the valuation strongly. DiskLogon might which for purists be, which the Windows 2000-Design pleases. Kind of DEK Logon did not function with me.

I searched the internet for a ‘good’ replacement for the login-screen of windows 2000 for the pc of my parents.

by www.ubergizmo.com 2006.
Comments:

Experience a totally new way of logging onto Windows XP – using the revolutionary Rohos Welcome (version 1.2). Doubling up as a USB flash drive, automate the logon process with ease. Upon removal of the flash drive, you can configure Rohos Welcome to automatically logoff, shutdown, or hibernate the system.

Compatible with Windows 2000, Rohos Welcome changes the logon screen by following the Windows XP format. A nice touch was adding details such as the current date and time, logon time, and the addition/removal of users. This great piece of shareware is valid for a free 40-day trial period, where upon expiry, a small fee of $25/$45 (depending on the type of license) is required to keep it running. Compatible with Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 versions.

Comments:

I am running a new laptop computer Since this computer is a prime theft target, I have taken steps to make it as secure as possible when leaving it unsupervised. I keep it tethered. All my sensitive information (passwords, account numbers, etc.) is kept on a 1GB USB flash, including my Mozilla Firefox profile directory (contains autocomplete data and web page cache). I also run a file mirroring utility that mirrors critical files to my USB flash every hour, in case the drive crashes or the computer is stolen. Rohos adds security against computer tampering, since I pull the flash drive whenever I walk away from the computer.

Comments:

I love this program its great to know that when you have to leave in a hurry that your keys are attached to your computer and that you have to pull them out to get anywere, so that means that the pc locks anyone out unless they have the key or password…
I work at an insurance co. its hard to keep people from my personal files so now i just lock them up with rohos welcome…

thanks guys.
you are the next generation of gurus for the pc…
