Stealth MXP Bio Secure USB Drive Revealed [Secure USB Drive Features 256-bit Encryption, Onboard Processor]

With all the Google/China dustup, security is on everybody’s mind these days. MXI Security has introduced a new secure thumb drive called the Stealth MXP Bio, a secure USB drive for the security minded in your life. In addition to it’s software security, it’s also waterproof and dustproof.

The Stealth MXP Bio includes something called the Bluefly Processor, which MXI Security has trademarked. It isn’t clear if this is a proper processor or a marketing name for something else, but regardless, the Stealth MXP Bio is pretty secure.

It features hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption, and will be able to carry SecurID soft tokens. In addition to it’s strong security, it’ll also feature “anti-malware protection” with MXI Security’s own ACCESS Antivirus scanner. It has a ‘zero software footprint’, perfect for sneaking around.

On the hardware side, it has a biometric thumbprint scanner for the extremely secure. Add all of this up, and you can have a three-factor security wall for getting access to your data, if you count the thumbprint scanner, password, and the SecurID soft token.

The device is compatible with Windows 2000 to Windows Vista, as well as Mac OS X “Leopard”, with no word on when they’ll get support for Windows 7 and Snow Leopard. (Linux users, as always, are on their own).

The chassis of the thumb drive is built with magnesium, and meets US military standards for waterproofing and dustproofing. It will come in sizes ranging from 1GB to 32GB, and pricing starts at $190 for the 1GB model and goes up from there.
