Hardware Encryption
In a hardware encrypted USB device, access control counters and all
information relating to encryption and decryption of the data are
implemented in a crypto module located inside the USB flash drive. The
crypto module will shut down the USB device and keep the data safe in the
event of unauthorised access attempts. Unlike a software based solution,
hackers are unable to run analysis utilities on the USB drive to locate and
reset this counter.
By shutting down the USB device, a parallel attack can also be thwarted. A
parallel attack is where data is copied and shared to many devices to
increase the attempts at unlocking data. The USB device doesn’t allow the
files to be copied so they are safe.
Summary
To summarise the basic difference between software and hardware encryption, we can state that if you can encrypt using software you can decrypt using software. However, a hardware encrypted device offers superior security levels by using a cryptographic core in a location independent of the PC and operating system to encrypt your data.
