Knox... As the only integrated solution for encryption and
backup, Knox makes securing your files easier than ever. Create
as many encrypted vaults as you want, each with separate
passwords. Then schedule automatic backups. You can even reformat
USB sticks and external drives as encrypted Knox vaults - moving
files between Macs has never been so simple and secure.
Knox uses the Mac OS X encrypted disk images feature, the
technology behind FileVault, to protect your data. This means
that your vaults are encrypted by the U.S. Government’s new
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit or 128-bit key
length. The AES algorithm is secure, but don’t take our word for
it: even the NSA has found its strength to be sufficient for
protecting classified national security information. The
implication? Your data will be safe whether it's a rogue kid or a
rogue nation going after it.
And because the encrypted disk images are supported as standard
in Mac OS X, Knox vaults - including whole disks encrypted with
Knox - can be opened even without Knox installed.
