With its Digittrade Security hard disk, the German vendor Digittrade has launched another hard disk housing based on the unsafe IM7206 controller by the Chinese manufacturer Innmax. The German vendor prominently advertises the product's strong 128-bit AES encryption on its packaging and web page. In practice, however, the hard disk data is only encrypted using a primitive XOR mechanism with an identical 512-Byte block for each sector. -- Regards, ASK --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
