I'm a beta-tester for it, and while I can understand a small twitch
when they talk about "miltary" and "beyond military" levels of
security, it is very cool.
It has hardware encryption and will erase itself if there are too
many password failures. I consider that an issue, personally, but it
appeals to people. The reason I consider it an issue is that I have
had to use a brain-dead-simple password I'm not going to forget
because if I get cute and need to try a number of things, poof, I'm
dead.
Yeah, it's using AES CBC mode, but that's a good deal better than a
lot of encrypted drives that are using ECB.
It also has their own little suite of Mozilla plus Tor and Privoxy
for browsing and they've set it up so that you can run that on
another computer from the drive.
It's not bad at all. My only real complaint is that it requires Windows.
