Data security and authentication with Kanguru USB drive

18th May 2010/in Reviews, USB & flash drives /by Igor

These days login-mania requirement is to keep your data secure while maintaining your sanity. This time weâ€™d like to present you authentication solution for Windows logon – Rohos Logon Key with Kanguru Defender, a hard combination to beat, regardless of what others may say.

The Kanguru Defender is a highly secure hardware encryption device that might meet or even exceed your security pretensions. Comparing it to previously reviewed IronKey we should emphasize that it’s easy to use and quite affordable – $49 USD.

Kanguru takes two-step approach to securing sensitive data:

At the device level Kanguru starts with military grade hardware based AES encryption.
Adds the ability to remotely manage your Kanguru Defender from a central location. The Kanguru Defender does not come with KRMC enabled by default. (for more information about KRMC, visit: http://shop.kanguru.com/index.php/flash-management/krmc)

Main features:

Password protected and encrypted data partition for your secure files
Does NOT require Admin privileges on any PC to open secure partition.
Write protect switch (actually this may safe you from viruses on guest PC)
Has only 1 secret drive. There is no Open and Secret partition options.
Password reset allow to turn USB drive configuration into factory defaults and create new password once again.

KeyLess mode. When you need to unplug USB key for a while.

One of Rohos customers gave us an interesting tip for the program, Rohos Logon Key

Ð¡itation:

“In our office the CPUs are under the tables, but USB cords are out on the tables for USB plugging convenience. When you need to plug in another USB device (for example your camera) the USB key should be temporarily unplugged (there is such option in Natural Login, it’s called keyless mode). It helps to prevent immediate access lock but in return it locks the machine let’s say after 3 minutes”

Now Rohos Logon Key has the same option – for the time being it’s available only through registry (USB_Key_remove_behaviour, see UserGuide).

How it works:

Upon USB key removal nothing happens.
In ## seconds (see USB_Key_remove_behaviour) the program locks computer and right away tries to unlock it with USB key.
If there is no key plugged in, the computer stays locked.

Yubikey 2.0 Setup Dynamic configuration for Rohos Logon with static AES key

30th April 2010/in otp, Reviews, USB & flash drives /by Igor

Some time ago we got YubiKey 2.0. and YubiKey 2.0 RFID devices from Yubico. Both of them are 2.01.1 firmware versions. The newer key (on the picture is above) a bit thicker, has a special circular press area and the body is more steady.

The Yubikey is a One-Time-Password token that works via the USB keyboard interface. New generation of Yubikeys also combines 2 devices in 1 Yubikey: OTP + RFID or OTP + 1 static password generator. OTP + OATH OTP (Firmware 2.1). Also Yubikey has many changes on backed.

What’s new in Yubikey 2.0:

Improved security.
Yubikey allows to have 2 configurations. Many YubiKey users wanted to have possibility to use YubiKey as static password generator + OTP token. Here it is.
Beautiful and easy to use Configuration Utility.
Dual-device: Yubikey + RFID (Classic Mifare 1k) or OATH 6 or 8 digit code identity.
New Yubico validation server:
+ allows uploading custom AES keys.
+ allows revoking Yubikeys
+ Validation protocol 2.0
Yubikey solutions Wiki – the list of the vendors, integrators and software that work with Yubikey.

Configuration Utility

allows reprograming Yubikey Configuration #1 or Configuration #2.

Second Configuration

YubiKey 2.0 works in the press-and-hold fashion. First off, the presses are time based. Where in v.1 you held it down until it started printing out the characters, with v.2.0 you make short press for the first config and long press (2.5 – 5 seconds technically) to generate second config OTP. Please note Yubikey configuration #2 has a feature allowing use to update static password if you press and hold the key for 8-15 seconds.

By default, Rohos Logon Key works with v.2 as usual but one customer was sent raw YubiKeys (version 2.1.1 not being configured) . So he asked us to give a step-by-step guide on how to set up YubiKey with Rohos Logon if Yubikey is not configured with OTP.

Ironkey security review (part 2).

22nd April 2010/in Reviews, USB & flash drives /by Igor

We go on with tests with IronKey. And in this part we’d like to tell you more about the features and functionality of the drive.Â The new S200 IronKey model is now compatible with Windows 7. The IronKey S200 1GB is high end and its price reflects that – 79$ USD. Our verdict for this part: screwed-on device and features that makes USB flash drive the most secure and user life a bit complicated.

Contactless robust Windows logon with Rohos Logon v.2.8

8th April 2010/in News, RFID, Rohos Logon Key /by Igor

(updated on May 11, 2010)

There are enormous quantity of reasons why you should protect access to your machine regardless if it is your home computer or PC at work connected to large network. Damage caused by unauthorized access to computers sometimes can’t even be measured in money.

Common protection and your pet’s name as password are simply not enough any more. In collaboration with Futako Ltd. we offer MiFare cards support for Rohos products. Contactless cards are increasingly accepted as the credential of choice for controlling physical access. They are both robust and flexible, giving security professionals the ability to reduce maintenance costs and increase security. The cards can’t be copied, tampered with, duplicated, cloned and resist hackers attacks. As result your information is safely stored inside smart card. Even if card is lostÂ it will not reveal stored information.

Rohos Logon Key solution takes care about secure access to Windows by storingÂ logon data into the smart cards. It is important to note that logon information is not used in standard way and extracted from the card, only then directly submitted to logon process. Logon profile is encrypted in the cards. It’s no longer necessary to type sensitive information during logon process where it is vulnerable. Rohos Logon Key speeds up log-in process and keeps it secure.
