Step Description
Creating, editing, deleting secure
files When you click on “Secure Files” in the IronKey
Control Panel, Windows Explorer will open directly to
your secure volume.
All files on your IronKey are strongly encrypted with
military-grade AES encryption. Encrypting files is
as simple as moving them into the secure volume.
Dragging files onto your desktop will decrypt them
on-the-fly in hardware. The IronKey gives you the
convenience of working as you normally would with
a regular flash drive, while at the same time providing
strong and “always-on” security.
Updating device firmware/soft-
ware The IronKey can securely update its software and
firmware through signed updates that are verified in
hardware. This allows users to keep their devices up-
to-date and protect themselves from future malware
and online threats.
To check for available updates, click the “Check for Up-
dates” button. If an update is available, you can choose
to download and install it by clicking the “Download
Update” button.
