Buffalo Technology Secure Lock Ware - Manual (Page 3)

Do you keep sensitive material on your portable hard drive? SecureLockWare’s 256-
bit capable AES encryption provides powerful protection for data on your portable USB
devices. When SecureLockWare is configured, no one will be able to access the data on
your portable device without entering the correct password - period.
AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard and is one of the most secure forms of
encryption currently available.
Protect your password carefully! Your data is only secure as long as your password is
secret. On the other hand, if you lose your password, you will not be able to access data
on your device.
System Requirements
•
Windows® 2000, XP™, or Vista™ on any client computers that the portable USB device
will be used with.
• A compatible USB storage device, such as a Buffalo flash memory stick or external
hard drive. Note: optical formats such as DVD-R and CD-R are not compatible with
SecureLockWare encryption.
