Description
When data is written to portable digital media, such as thumb drives, floppy diskettes, compact disks, and magnetic tape, etc., there is risk of data loss. Cryptographically binding the removable media to the mobile device renders the media useless when it is separated from the device. This greatly reduces the risk associated with removable media.
