Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the iStorage datashur, a PIN activated, hardware
encrypted USB flash drive.
The iStorage datashur uses military grade AES 256-bit hardware encryption,
which encrypts all data stored on the drive in real-time. The datashur requires
no software and is OS and host independent. The datashur incorporates a
rechargeable battery allowing the customer to enter a 7-15 digit PIN (Personal
Identification Number) onto the on-board keypad before connecting the drive
to the USB port. Should the drive be lost or stolen, the user can rest assured that
all data held on the datashur is safe and cannot be accessed by any unauthorised
person.
The datashur can be created with both User and Admin PINs, making it perfect for
corporate and government deployment.
As the iStorage datashur is unlocked with the on-board keypad and not with the
keyboard, it is not vulnerable to software/hardware based key-loggers or brute
force attacks.
CAUTION
The datashur is shipped with a default User PIN of
and although it can be used straight out of the box with the
default PIN, for security reasons, we highly recommend that a new
User PIN be created immediately by following instructions under
heading #2 «How to change User PIN».
