Hardware-based encryption uses a device with a processor designed specifically to authenticate users and encrypt data.

Unlike software-based encryption, which uses passwords as encryption keys, hardware encryption devices generate encryption and decryption keys so only authorized users can access classified information.

โก๏ธUses a dedicated processor, physically located on the encrypted drive, so it wonโt experience performance issues.
โก๏ธProcessor contains a random number generators to generate an encryption key, which is unlocked by the user’s password.
โก๏ธOffers increased performance by off-loading encryption from the host system.
โก๏ธIncludes safeguard keys and critical security parameters within crypto-hardware.
โก๏ธAuthentication takes place on the hardware.
โก๏ธIt does not require any type of driver installation or software installation on the host PC.
โก๏ธProtects against the most common attacks, such as cold-boot attacks, malicious code, brute force attacks.
