In the ENCSecurity version of the software, an option allows enabling the log of the application. PE explorer allowed me to unpack it and still run properly. Thus for all those reasons, I decided to analyze the solution to figure out how it was implemented. They claimed to provide “ Ultimate encryption using 1024 bit AES keys, Military grade”. In addition, the security claims of their website are really strong. I was surprised that the solution was not supported yet by John the ripper nor Hascat. ENCSecurity also sells their own paying version with more options. The interesting part is that the solution is general and distributed to Sony and Lexar as well under different names. I dug a bit deeper and I discovered that the solution is developed for SanDisk by a company called ENCSecurity. Thus I was definitely interested to know what was behind this solution. It was surprising to me since AES keys are defined in the standard to be either 128, 192 or 256-bit long but not 5 bits. I could choose ( if I would bought the premium version of the software) between several methods: “ AES 128 bit“, “ AES 256 bit“, “ AES 512 bit” and “ AES 1024 bit“.
