This may be the first instance of a portable USB security device being used to hold a virtual desktop, OS, applications and data housed in an encrypted partition on the flash memory, with biometric and password authentication protection.
MXI Security created its Stealth MXP portable security devices to reduce the loss and theft of data and applications personnel carry on a daily basis - or it may be the key to securing online data, transactions and communications.
MXI Security's Stealth MXP device combines state-of-the-art data encryption and biometric protection to safeguard data stored in its 8GB memory. Without the right password and fingerprint, the entire memory remains off-limits to unauthorized users. With a complete PC image installed on a Stealth MXP, a user can access their desktop from practically any PC or laptop, without fear of the consequences from data leakage if their PC is lost or stolen. In addition, Stealth MXP leaves no tell-tale traces on a host computer. Once back in the office, any changes to the user’s data are synchronized and backed-up. Therefore, if a device is lost or stolen, a fresh copy can simply be copied to a replacement.
Evil doers are an inventive bunch, they could relentlessly work to break all the security built into a Stealth MXP device http://www.mxisecurity.com/?p=products&i=stealth_mxp
People are increasingly concerned with protecting their personal identity and information, whether its stored on a PC, laptop, mobile device or online. MXI Security's Stealth MXP family of devices are an important innovation to securing the devices, applications and data people used and carry. A couple of examples about the range of use: Stealth MXP's are used to secure data by organizations such as the US Department of Defense to PwC. Consumers could use a Stealth MXP as the key to their online banking, taking the extra step to instruct an Internet browser to store cookies on the device ensures that no footprint of their online experience resides on a computer - protecting their finanical security.

It’s not so much the hardware of this thumb drive that would interest prospective buyers, but more the software. Although the security provided by the integrated fingerprint reader is a dandy added bonus to all the software security you get.
