Introduction:

Bio

Stik

™ by Index Security is a biometric USB secured flash storage device employing a state of the art capacitive fingerprint sensor. The data stored

within the Bio

Stik

™ is protected by your fingerprint, not a password. The Bio

Stik

™ is both easy to use and is a cross platformed for most Operation Systems

as a USB flash storage device. The fingerprint sensor adds the ultimate security to your data and also identifies you as you. Bio

Stik

™ only works with your

personal touch. If lost, the Bio

Stik

™ flash is encapsulated in an epoxy, that will self destruct if the casing is tampered with. Removal or tampering with the

storage IC renders the data useless and indecipherable.
