Biometrics Encrypts Virtual Drives and Information.

myBiodentity Corp a global innovator in biometrics enabled solutions has released a major update to bio-iVault Encrypted Virtual Drive Manager which uses Finger, Face and Voice verification to securely create and manage the encrypted virtual drives.

    NORTH SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, October 29, 2010 /Security PR News/ -- myBiodentity Corp a global innovator in biometrics enabled solutions has released a major update to bio-iVault Encrypted Virtual Drive Manager which uses the well respected myBiometrix Biometric platform to deliver Finger, Face and Voice verification to securely create and manage the encrypted virtual drives. Using Biometrics means No Passwords to remember or have stolen.

The bio-iVault drives appear just like a normal drive in Explorer, so files can be created, edited and deleted just as is done on a normal drive. The important difference is the bio-iVault drive is virtual, and encrypts all information as it is added which means all files and data, financials, images and music, are scrambled so only the "actual" owner can access them. Each virtual drive (or Container) is like one highly secure encrypted Folder that only the authorized owner can access, and can only be seen when a valid Scan is authorized to gain access.

Similar to a Virus Scanner or Firewall, bio-iVault works in the background encrypting files on the fly without any interruption, using the Department of Defense approved AES 256 algorithm.

bio-iVault is multi-user each with their own Biometric Identity, and supports any number of encrypted containers which when Mounted (selected) appear simply as a normal drive letter such as F:PersonalDocuments

On starting the application, and Scanning using a preferred Biometrics to authenticate the user, that users' bio-iVault drives are listed and ready for mounting. Selecting and mounting required drives, scanning on each mount, access is now given to all information within the drives, just like a normal computer drive, however at a greatly increased level of security.

When the drive is closed (dismounted), or the computer is turned off, the information is Vaulted in the containers, is hidden, and encrypted, whereby only a valid Biometric Scan can enable access.

If there are documents, pictures, financial data or whatever is of importance and needs to be kept secret, bio-iVault is the answer.

Bio-iVault runs under Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7, has a 7 Day Trial, costs $25(US) for a single-machine license, and may be purchased securely online from http://www.bio-iVault.com
