To be cruelly and blatantly honest... your description is rather exaggerated, for starters the dials on the crypteks can be taken apart with a hammer and screwdriver im sure, u know aluminum can't really take much of a pounding; and as far as security goes well you can always use TrueCrypt. But if you're looking for that geek/attention getter factor ok crypteks is your gadget.
I love TrueCrypt. Very comfortable with the technology . Just load TrueCrypt on the machine being used and use TrueCrpt for security cant be broken into this is military encryption. I trust it completely .
Crypteks is secure but not like iron key those guys are in this business for more than 10 years and lots of banks are using there technology to make them secure.
The World's Most Secure USB Flash Drive is IRON Key that Crypteks is secure but not like IRON KEY, having a hardware lock like Crypteks its not in off, iron key has it too you cant get to the chip it melted on chip. IRON KEY its the only flash drive with 2 storage with 256bit military encryption and personal costume browser and with a online security that if you lose you Iron Key you can say if it get connected to internet and you put it to get destroyed it would get destroyed by its self.
trucrypt is all you really need on a flash drive..
just get a 32gb flash drive, swap out the case with a 2gb drive and have a dummy partition with random files on it and a return/reward information document.
i bet this cryptek flash drive costs +$700 for the 4gb version with all that hardware built into it....
I must disagree. crypteks is a not the best idea for safe storage its a cool looking USB though. These USB however good the encryption it always get reversed within hours of there release. then the source is spread and even VB6 will be able to do it
Kingston have had Encrypted Flash Drives (in the form of DataTraveller Locker) for a while but I'm unsure if the built-in software for setting/entering your password works on anything other than Windows. If every feature of this drive works on Windows, Mac OS X & Linux right out of the box, then it's a winner.
The best thing is to use truecrypt! Its free, very secure and works with all operating systems! This is truly secure, it cant be opened by anyone if you use a secure password!
Chris, I strongly suggest you hold back on investing in this. There are some serious security concerns with what they're building, and they're inherent in the design. For a proper design, take a look at IronKey, a product that has been out on the market for some time.
If I understand your description correctly, the encryption can use only a few numbers because you're dealing with a physical tumbler thing. A short insecure password on a device I can take apart and plug in the PC anyway.
@penisculatus The way I took it from what Chris said is that if opened incorrectly... ie forced open then it will erase the data on the drive anyway? I suppose one could be developed that self destructs if the key is incorrect or you try and force it open?
so you said it has a mechanism that erases stuff if you get it wrong what if u accidently get the password wrong or someone messes with it ? all your stuff will be deleted i would be pissed

You haven't told us enough about this thing for me to be convinced that the CIA will consider adopting this thing.
Q1: Is this thing FIPS 140-{1,2} compliant.
Q2: Are the memory chips tamper-proof? (That scroll lock thing you talked about is an external security feature)
Q3: How does it compare with Iron Key? (better, comparable, less)
If the answers to the above questions are negative, it probably isn't secure enough.
