Hydra Privacy Card (Hydra PC) Series II
Personal Encryption Device
The Hydra Privacy Card® (Hydra PC™) Series II Personal Encryption Device is a FIPS 140-2 Level 3-validated multifunctional security device that combines the features of a USB security token and portable storage drive with the strongest encryption technology commercially available. Secure hardware-based encryption sets Hydra PC apart from other file encryption solutions.
The on-board file encryptor uses algorithms specified in the
U. S. Government's Suite B standard, including AES, ECC, and
SHA-2. The Hydra PC Personal Encryption Device stores encrypted files on a replaceable miniSD/miniSDHC memory card for almost unlimited storage capacity. You can also store encrypted files on your computer's hard drive or any portable storage drive.
Hydra PC Personal Encryption Device is also available in a Hydra PC Virus Protected ViP package, which includes antivirus protection.
The Hydra PC Personal Encryption Device supports security-aware applications such as Microsoft Windows smart card logon, e-mail digital signatures and encryption, and secure Web browsers.

Hydra PC Personal Encryption Device Features
- Hardware-based encryption using the strongest cryptographic algorithms and key lengths commercially available today. Algorithms used exceed the Suite B standards approved by the U.S. Government to protect both unclassified and classified information through the TOP SECRET level. Supported algorithms include AES 128/192/256, ECC p-256/384/521, and SHA-224/256/384/512, as well as 3DES, SHA-1, and RSA legacy algorithms.
- FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated—certificate 1179.
- An exclusive authentication feature can limit the use of a Hydra PC Personal Encryption Device to a specifically designated enclave of one or more computers. The Hydra PC cannot be used in computers that are outside the enclave, even if the user knows the logon PIN.
- Passwords, digital certificates, and encrypted files stored on the Hydra PC require a PIN for access. After 10 incorrect PIN entries, access is blocked.
- The Hydra PC Sentry feature blocks read and write access to removable USB and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) storage devices that use a disk file system. This prevents unauthorized file copying to or from blocked drives.
- Tamper-resistant, tamper-evident processor chip.
- High-speed USB 2.0, USB 1.1 compatible.
-
Device administration operations such as key management can be restricted to designated persons for better control in large organizations.
