The Problem

What happens when your
encrypted drive is stolen?

If the key lives inside the device, the drive is only as secure as the device. Forensic tools, supply-chain attacks, and coerced disclosure all exploit the same fundamental flaw — something is stored somewhere.

$4.88M
Average cost of a data breach in 2024 — and rising every year.

Credential theft is the #1 attack vector. When your password database, key file, or biometric template leaks, the damage is permanent.

You can change a password. You cannot change your face.

— IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024

Software encryption stores the key somewhere. Whether in the operating system, on a hidden partition, or derived from a passphrase — if it exists, it can be found. BitLocker keys have been extracted from RAM. TPM secrets have been side-channel attacked. Password-protected drives have been forensically unlocked.

Biometric systems store templates. When Capital One, LastPass, or 23andMe suffered breaches, the stolen data remained useful to attackers forever. Your fingerprint is not a secret. Your face, once digitized and stored, is no different.

Every other secure drive on the market asks the same question: "Where should we put the key?" VaultDrive asks: "What if the key doesn't have to exist?"

Our Breakthrough

Your face. Your key. Your data.

VaultDrive's AES-256 unlock credential is bound to you — verified in real time on your phone, never written to storage. It exists for the moment of authentication, then ceases to exist. Nothing is stored. Nothing can be stolen.

Phone-based face authentication sends a temporary encrypted credential to VaultDrive
How It Works

Three steps. Zero stored keys.

Face-to-unlock is not facial recognition. It's cryptographic authentication with zero stored secrets. Here's the difference.

STEP 01
A phone verifies the user locally before unlocking VaultDrive

Look at your phone.

Open the Facrypt app. In under one second, your phone verifies it's really you — entirely on-device. The raw image is discarded immediately; nothing is stored.

On-device · Offline
STEP 02
A phone taps the VaultDrive NFC zone to unlock the SSD

Tap to unlock.

Hold your phone near VaultDrive. Your one-time unlock credential transfers via NFC into the drive's hardware security chip — air-gapped, encrypted, in under 100ms.

NFC · 100ms
STEP 03
VaultDrive locks again when disconnected from a laptop

Use it. Then it's gone.

Plug into any computer at full USB 3.2 speeds. When you disconnect, the key is destroyed — not wiped, not archived. Mathematically erased.

Any OS · No drivers
One-Touch Unlock

Tap your phone. The drive opens.

Hold an NFC-capable phone near the drive. No fingerprint scan. No password to type. Authentication happens in under two seconds — but only for the face that owns this drive.

No fingerprint. No password.
Just hold your phone near the drive. The Facrypt app handshakes with the drive's NFC chip, verifies it's really you, and unlocks. The whole thing finishes in under 2 seconds.

Worst Case Scenarios

Built for when things go wrong.

Every scenario below is why VaultDrive exists. Swipe through them.

VaultDrive left on a taxi seat
Left in a taxi

The computer doesn't recognize it.

Anyone who plugs it in sees a drive with no filesystem, no data, nothing recoverable. Just encrypted noise.

VaultDrive connected at a laptop repair desk
Sent in for laptop repair

Technicians see an encrypted box.

Repair shops routinely copy drive contents. VaultDrive gives them nothing to copy — encryption is chip-level.

Border inspection

There is no key to hand over.

In 21 countries, agents can legally demand device access. If the key doesn't exist, compliance is technically impossible.

☁️
Cloud service breach

Attackers find nothing useful.

Facrypt stores no biometric templates on any server. A full breach yields zero usable credentials.

🏨
Forgotten in a hotel

Housekeeping finds a paperweight.

Without your face, the drive is an inert aluminum rectangle. That's all it becomes.

♻️
Selling or recycling

Revoke once. Sealed forever.

No factory reset required. Revoke face enrollment in the app — the data becomes mathematically unreachable.

If it's not unlocked, it doesn't exist.

Plug a locked VaultDrive into any computer. Nothing happens. No drive icon. No mount prompt. Forensic tools see USB power draw and a controller that refuses to identify. Even the operating system can't tell what's connected.

Security Architecture

Two dedicated chips. One unique drive ID.

VaultDrive runs an in-house storage controller, an NFC secure element for authentication, and an AES-256 hardware engine for encryption — three independent silicon paths, each cryptographically bound to a per-drive unique ID burned at the factory.

VaultDrive's three-chip security architecture: NFC SE, in-house controller, AES-256 engine NFC SECURE ELEMENT DSCC CTRL-2026 UID: BOUND AES 256-BIT ENGINE LAYER 1 · AUTH LAYER 2 · CONTROLLER LAYER 3 · CIPHER
LAYER 1 · NFC SE
NFC Secure Element
A tamper-resistant chip that handles the phone-to-drive handshake. Receives the person-bound authentication credential over a short-range encrypted channel — and only then signals the controller.
LAYER 2 · CTRL
In-house Storage Controller
A custom DSCC controller that links the NFC SE to the AES engine. Each unit ships with a unique 128-bit UID burned at the factory — clone the silicon, you still can't replicate the binding.
LAYER 3 · AES
AES-256 Hardware Engine
Dedicated cryptographic silicon, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 ready. Encrypts every byte at line rate — the controller never delivers a plaintext block to the NAND. Decryption only happens in this chip's volatile registers.

"Bank-grade" describes the architectural pattern: separation of secure elements + hardware AES + per-device unique ID, the same approach used in EMV payment chips. It does not imply this product carries financial-industry certification.

If the laptop walks away, the business doesn't walk with it.

My home office isn't just mine. Kids pass through, guests use the Wi-Fi, the repair person needs access to the breaker box behind my desk.

A laptop password is a polite request. VaultDrive is a mathematical one.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Eight real questions from security professionals who tested VaultDrive.

Without your face, the drive is inert. Anyone who plugs it in sees an unrecognized device — no filesystem, no data, nothing recoverable. The encryption key only exists at the moment of authentication. There is no backdoor, no master key, no customer-service recovery.
Authentication runs entirely on your phone, on-device and offline. The unlock credential is bound to you personally (person-bound) and exists only in RAM for the moment of authentication. No facial image, template, or biometric data is ever stored — on your phone, on our servers, or on the drive.
No. VaultDrive uses multi-modal liveness detection to verify that a real, three-dimensional face is present. Photos, videos, and masks are rejected. The same anti-spoofing technology used by banking apps (FIDO Biometric Certified Level 2) protects VaultDrive.
VaultDrive's biometric algorithm tolerates natural variation over time — weight changes, aging, facial hair. For major changes, you can re-enroll by authenticating with your backup recovery phrase, generated at setup. This recovery phrase is the only fallback — we cannot reset your drive remotely.
Yes, on all of them — with zero drivers or software required. Once unlocked via NFC, it appears as a standard USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 external SSD. The Facrypt app for unlocking supports iOS 15+ and Android 10+.
Software encryption stores the key somewhere — in the OS, on a chip, or derived from a password that can be guessed or coerced. VaultDrive's unlock credential requires your live, in-person authentication and is destroyed on disconnect. There is nothing stored to extract, nothing to crack, and nothing to coerce out of you.
In most jurisdictions, you cannot be compelled to provide a key that doesn't exist. Since VaultDrive's key only exists during active authentication — and is destroyed on disconnect — border agents have nothing to demand access to. Always consult local counsel for your specific travel route.
Revoke your face enrollment in the Facrypt app. All data becomes permanently sealed — not even you can access it again. No factory reset or secure erase is needed, because the encryption key is mathematically unreachable without your original biometric enrollment.
