Press release:
SiliconSystems, Inc., a world leader in advanced storage technology, announced
its SiliconDrive Secure™ family of products which offers an unprecedented
level of storage system security. SiliconDrive Secure is a low-power, scalable
storage solution which integrates security to guard against critical user
data falling into the wrong hands or software IP theft. SiliconDrive Secure
enables OEM system manufacturers to create new market and business opportunities
while enhancing product differentiation.
SiliconDrive Secure provides the industry's most comprehensive suite of
proprietary technologies enabling multiple user-selectable options for
assuring data
and software IP security. Offering designers easy implementation, SiliconDrive
Secure provides advanced security features such as ultra-fast data erasure
and sanitization, data zones with independent security parameters and secure
areas for OEMs to add unique encryption/decryption keys as a basis for
implementing customer-specific security strategies.
Unlike the needs in consumer electronics applications such as USB drives,
where security is implemented on the removable device, Enterprise System
OEMs benefit from security that is tied directly to the host system,
rendering the data unreadable if the storage device is used on another
system. Tying
security to the host system is especially useful to companies that routinely
ship software IP upgrades that could be vulnerable to theft and to prevent
security breaches.
“SiliconDrive Secure was designed to meet the new demands customers
now face in assuring storage system security as more and more embedded devices
are
shared or deployed over networks,” said Michael Hajeck, CEO at
SiliconSystems.

Prevents Application Data and Software IP Theft
To prevent application data and software theft, patent-pending SiKey™ technology
ties application data and software IP to a specific SiliconDrive Secure so
that a host system can verify the drive and create unique encryption keys
to prevent theft.
Security Technology Integrated into SiliconDrive Secure:
SiKey – Ties SiliconDrive Secure to a specific host and/or software IP.
SiZone – Data zones with different security parameters.
SiSweep – Ultra-fast data erasure.
SiScrub – Ultra-fast data erasure followed by a programmed pattern.
SiPurge – Non-recoverable data erasure.
SiProtect – Software write protection for read-only access.
SiSecure – Password required for read and write access.
