Using the CipherUSB With Storage

Data that is encrypted will only be readable when the device is connected to a computer through a CipherUSB programmed with the correct password. When a device is connected through a CipherUSB, unencrypted data or data that is encrypted using a CipherUSB programmed with a different password will not be readable.

For hard drives and flash media devices, all sectors written including the boot record and file system are encrypted by CipherUSB. For optical media, individual sessions are encrypted and will be unreadable without a correct CipherUSB. This means optical discs may be either entirely encrypted or created with multiple sessions, with and without encryption.
