Redkey stops your personal information being discovered when a computer is disposed of. Personal Information can easily be found on computers - even after it's been deleted because computers never actually delete data properly. This is a kind of flaw in the way all computers work.

Data is stored on the "hard drive" inside every computer. The Redkey uses a special process to wipe the contents of your drives in a way that is much more secure than just "deleting" or "resetting." Redkey permanently erases data. It uses a combination of techniques to do so, including cryptography. Ordinarily - a computer will not go to this extreme - it takes too long! But when it comes time to dispose of a computer, use the Redkey to force your computer to erase the data properly.

Simply plug your Redkey in to a spare USB port on the computer to be wiped, then switch on power to initiate a wipe. Once loaded, it's designed to work automatically, and any further interaction is completely optional. Your computer will start to wipe after a couple of minutes (this can be skipped if urgent) and after several hours, the wipe process is usually complete. When the wipe is complete, this is visually indicated on your screen, and also indicated by audio beeps every 5 minutes. How long the wipe takes depends on the size and type of the disk drive(s) in your computer.

*RedKey USB works on most home / business type computers with a spare USB port available. This includes PC's, Desktop's & Laptops made since 2000 & Mac / Macbooks made since 2006. 32+64 Bit supported. X86. It works with both HDD Hard Drives and the latest SSD Solid State drives, and combinations thereof. The Redkey can work with either a keyboard, a mouse, or both, or neither. It can even work on partially broken computers where you can't see the screen. For this reason, audio beeps are included so you can hear when a computer has been wiped. It works on both PC's & Macs including laptops although with Macs you may need to hold down function key to use the "F" keys. This can be circumvented easily by using an external keyboard or mouse. Redkey works with SSD and M2 type discs. We are currently working on compatibility for eMMC disks too. Redkey may not work on some server / virtual / specialist type computers. We are currently working on RAID compatibility.

No. The Redkey is a "pay-once" product and is designed to last for years. Every Redkey obtained through crowd-funding includes free software updates for life. That means that whenever future updates come out for the Redkey, you can upgrade your Redkey to the latest version for free, for life! In regards to durability, the Redkey is very tough for a USB stick because its made from a single piece of steel and the working parts are encapsulated. It can stand up to heavy duty use, and can be stored on a key-ring without deforming in your pocket. It is tough and does not scratch easy - the result of a great deal of product development and field testing.

New | Cryptographic Erase.
Introducing a new wipe stage designed to prevent data recovery by all known forensic techniques by employing Blow-fish 448-Bit cryptography to fully encrypt a drive as part of the wipe process. The "crypto" keys are then discarded rendering any data completely useless.
New | Enhanced Secure Erase (In Progress)
A new feature that will add an additional layer of security to the wipe process. Will erase "Hidden" areas of a Disk drive that are otherwise unreachable. This feature is still under development and is due to be introduced soon via software update.
New | 100% Verification.
This new mode forensically scans your computer for any remaining bits of data following a wipe - just to make sure everything is gone! Should anything be detected, it will be identified and erased. Works independently of the wipe process for complete autonomy.
New | Report Feature.
This feature allows you to view a report and save it as a text file, so it can kept, printed or forwarded on for compliance reasons etc. Ties in with verification. Gain NIST, GDPR, HIPAA compliance by ensuring safe asset disposal through verifiable data destruction.
New | Software certification.
Redkey will apply to have the software certified by an industry recognised professional organisation. This adds an element of assurance that the product does what it says it does. This stage is currently pending completion.

The Redkey is available on it's own, or as part of a kit containing other coloured keys.
The other coloured keys are not the same as the Redkey. The Blue & Green keys are simply regular, empty, USB sticks - made in the same form as the Redkey. They are for storing your data files like any other regular USB stick, however - they are manufactured to the same high quality specification as the Redkey.
Use the Blue or green Keys prior to, or following the use of the Redkey to store or transfer files that you actually want to keep. You must make sure you back up any data you want to keep before using the Redkey, because once it's gone, it's gone forever!
The Blue and Green keys are optional extras that help simplify your backup and restoration tasks if applicable, but the Redkey will still work fine on it's own, without them. Full comprehensive instructions and advice is included in a printed instruction manual covering various uses for each key.
