Nice idea, complete implementation failure.ĮDITED TO ADD (3/4): According to the manual, the drive locks for two minutes after five unsuccessful attempts. (Likely, the password encrypts a random key that encrypts the actual data: not that it matters.) And even if you wanted to, is it reasonable to expect someone to enter 77 digits without making an error?
I can’t imagine anyone doing that they’ll enter an eight- or ten-digit key and call it done. The problem is that in order to get full 256-bit entropy in the key, you need to enter 77 decimal digits using the keypad. You enter the key directly into the stick via the keypad, thereby bypassing any eavesdropping software on the computer. Look at this new AES-encrypted USB memory stick.
