Password Manager Protection

The IronKey Password Manager and my.ironkey.com work together, giving you the ability to back up your online passwords to your Online Security Vault at my.ironkey.com. First, you must unlock your IronKey device, which requires two-factor authentication. Your passwords are securely stored in a hidden hardware-encrypted area inside the device (not in the file sys- tem), being first locally encrypted with 256-bit AES, using randomly gener- ated keys encrypted with a SHA-256 hash of your device password. All of this data is then doubly encrypted with 128-bit AES hardware encryp- tion.This is the strongest password protection we have ever seen in the industry.

When you back up your passwords online, IronKey performs a complicat- ed public key cryptography handshake with IronKey’s services using RSA 2048-bit keys. After successful authentication, your encrypted block of password data is securely transmitted over SSL to your encrypted Online Security Vault within one of our highly-secure data facilities.
