For
those concerned about online security threats like
man-in-the-middle attacks, there is a whole new way to surf the
Web: using IronKey's Secure Sessions service and the Firefox
browser already installed on your IronKey.
This allows you to safely connect to your favorite websites,
even public computers, and tunnel through unprotected wireless
networks and snooping ISPs.
Surfing the Web Safely:
With IronKey's Secure Sessions Service, your Web
communications travel through an encrypted tunnel on the
Internet to our network routing servers and eventually out
to your destination website. This approach works just like
an instant VPN (virtual private network), but is portable,
so you can use it on other computers without having to
install and configure complicated software.
Since IronKey controls the server your traffic will exit
from, you get the benefit of additional online protection.
IronKey performs a check to ensure that your traffic goes to
the actual destination site using known DNS databases. It
will also check to make sure that it is not a known phishing
site. These anti-pharming and anti-phishing methods give you
the latest in online protection.
This gives you simple but effective protection against
phishing attacks and spyware that tracks your keystrokes.
Surfing the Web Privately:
Not only does IronKey's Secure Sessions service encrypt
your online communications, but it provides a layer of
anonymity to protect your identity and confidentiality.
Websites will no longer be able to see your IP address or
know where in the world you are coming from because it will
appear as though you are coming from one of IronKey's Tor
servers instead of from your computer. And you can easily
change which country your Web traffic is coming from at any
time.
To protect your privacy, IronKey has extended Tor
technology originally sponsored by the US Naval Research
Laboratory. IronKey's Secure Sessions Service sends your Web
traffic through multiple network routing servers before
decrypting it on an IronKey server and sending it to the
destination site. This makes it virtually impossible to
track who is going where or correlate your surfing to your
computer.
Optimized for Speed:
IronKey's Secure Sessions Service uses complex routing
algorithms and high performance Tor servers to ensure an
enjoyable web experience. This is done without requiring
identifiable information that could be tied back to an
individual user or IronKey device. And, you can easily and
quickly disable the service by clicking a button right in
the browser, which is handy when security and privacy are
not important but data transfer speeds are.
