InformationWeek SMB: The Swiss Army Knife People Offer Unhackable USB Stick
Worried about privacy of data you carry on a USB stick? Worry no more. The Victorinox Secure Device uses fingerprint and thermal sensing to authenticate users. Any attempt to tamper with the device triggers a self-destruct mechanism.
“Victorinox, best known as the maker of the Swiss Army knife, has released a USB memory stick that the company claims is “un-hackable.”
The Victorinox Secure device, which comes attached to the popular multi-function knife, uses several layers of security, including fingerprint identification and a thermal sensor. Combining a fingerprint with heat makes it impossible to access the device with a finger detached from the body, something one might see in a Hollywood movie.”
