The new IronKey model S200 boasts that it's the most physically secure as well as data secure USB key on the market. How so? IronKey says that the key comes with an onboard encryption chip that does AES 256-bit encryption in "CBC" mode. In fact, IronKey claims that it uses the same techniques employed by the U.S. Department of Defense for securing sensitive data. Utilizing what IronKey calls the Cryptochip the S200 can even self destruct. If the key senses that it's being tampered with, the chip can wipe the onboard flash memory and even kill the onboard decryption key, which is unique to each individual key. IronKey also says that keys can be remotely wiped if lost thanks to the IronKey S200 Server system. Administrators can also manage thousands of IronKeys at the same time.
