Step Description
1 Creating, editing, deleting secure
les
When you click “Secure Files” in the IronKey Control
Panel, the default browser on your computer opens
directly to your secure volume.
All les on your IronKey are strongly encrypted with
military-grade AES encryption. Encrypting les is
as simple as moving them into the secure volume.
Dragging les onto your desktop decrypts them
on-the-y in hardware. The IronKey gives you the
convenience of working as you normally would with a
regular ash drive, while providing strong and “always-
on” security.
