Imation and ENCRYPTX Corporation are in development on a line of secure optical media. In a recent announcement, the companies state that the CD-R, DVD-R and Blu-ray Discs will use ENCRYPTX’s EncryptDisc AES 256-bit encryption technology on a line of secure, printable optical media products from Imation

“As the global leader in optical media with more than 50 years of experience helping commercial users and government agencies to store and protect their critical data, Imation is excited to announce this important product development and marketing relationship with ENCRYPTX,” said Keith Schwartz, director of strategic growth for Imation’s global commercial business.

“EncryptDisc technology addresses the needs of government, business and medical users who require a highly secure way to transport, share and archive sensitive data on optical media. It is another important offering in Imation’s growing portfolio of secure storage products designed to help our customers more fully protect their critical storage assets and ensure compliance with increasingly stringent security and regulatory requirements.”

“ENCRYPTX is pleased to have partnered with Imation, an industry leader in data storage, to create this highly secure line of optical products with EncryptDisc technology,” added David Duncan, founder and president of ENCRYPTX Corporation. “While today’s users are very familiar with creating and burning CDs and DVDs on computers, this familiarity has increased the possibility of data leaks and unprotected record sharing in corporate and government environments. With EncryptDisc technology’s built-in burning and automatic encryption, organisations have full control over what is being recorded and by whom. Because the encryption used is FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated, users are assured the content of the disc is in compliance with government encryption standards.”
