Gemalto Smart Guardian (SG)

		INFO & KNOWLEGDE

The Gemalto Smart Guardian (SG) is a revolutionary USB Security Stick (Personal Portable Security Device - PPSD), which secures the stored data on its flash memory via encryption and access via Passphrase. The Smart Guardian doesn't need any driver installation or addidiontal software installation (zero-footprint) and can be used therefore almost everywhere (Windows, Intel Macs 10.4, 10.5)!

Now you are able to keep your USB-Flash-Stick on the keyring without disclosing your identity and address via your stored data on the USB-Stick. (and disclosing the location of the locks to the keys on the keyring).

Smart Guardian - Simple and Secure

Smart Guardian is using proven smart card technology and offers the best possible protection, because all sensitive data, functions and keys are stored, used and managed securely in the secured area on the smart card.

Smart Guardian - Encryption for everyone

You don't have to change your habits, you can use it like every other Flash memory stick so you can't use it wrong. If you want to store certain data securely, just open the secured area via PIN-entry and save it there, encryption is transparent to you.
