Vault FAQs:
How do I access the Portable Vault software and help
file?
The application file (.exe) and the help file (.chm) are pre-loaded
on your Gizmo! overdrive. Just double-click the file icons
to open them.
Can
I use the Portable Vault application from my Gizmo! overdrive
with security software on other USB flash drives?
No. Firmware encoding prevents the security software from
functioning on any drive that did not originally have the
Portable Vault security software installed. (In other words,
an additional application will not function if you copy the
Portable Vault file from an overdrive model with security
software onto an overdrive model without security software.)

What is Blowfish encryption?
Blowfish algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can be
used as a drop-in replacement for DES or IDEA. It takes a
variable-length key, from 32 bits to 448 bits, making it ideal
for both domestic and exportable use. Blowfish was designed
in 1993 by Bruce Schneier as a fast, free alternative to existing
encryption algorithms. Since then it has been analyzed considerably,
and it is gaining acceptance as a strong encryption algorithm.
