Initial Setup  
This procedure only needs to be done when setting up the CipherUSB  
for the first time, or when a new password is desired. The CipherUSB will  
retain the last password it was programmed with and models without  
Two-Factor Authentication do not require any driver or software to work.  
1. Connect the CipherUSB to a computer running Windows, and connect  
a USB storage device into the CipherUSB. The CipherUSB will not  
respond until a working storage device is connected to its USB device  
port.  
2. For models without Two-Factor Authentication, insert the CipherUSB  
password utility disc. If an Autorun menu appears, select "Run  
CipherUSB.exe" or browse to your CD drive using Windows Explorer  
and launch the CipherUSB program. If you are setting up the  
CipherUSB for the first time, the following dialog box should appear:  
3. Click OK to proceed to the utility. Choose a password as short or as  
long (up to 32 characters) as desired, and enter it into the “Setup” and  
“Confirm” fields. Then click Start.

Phone: 408-453-6212  
CAUTION: KEEP YOUR PASSWORD SAFE AND REMEMBER IT.  
OTHER CipherUSB DEVICES CAN USE THE SAME PASSWORD TO  
UNLOCK MEDIA ENCRYPTED BY THIS DEVICE. IF THE PASSWORD  
IS LOST THE DATA IS LOST. THERE IS NO “BACK DOOR” TO  
UNLOCK OR RECOVER THE PASSWORD OR THE ENCRYPTION  
KEY.  
After confirming once more for security, the CipherUSB will be  
programmed with a 256-bit encryption key seeded by the password.  
Once the CipherUSB has been programmed, a dialog will appear  
instructing you to remove the device and reinsert it, then the program will  
close automatically. After removing and reinserting the CipherUSB it will  
be properly initialized.  
Using the CipherUSB With Storage  
Data that is encrypted will only be readable after being decrypted again  
using a CipherUSB programmed with the correct password.  
While it is required to connect the CipherUSB with a storage device  
attached in order to encrypt files, it is not necessary to encrypt files on  
the attached storage. Files may be encrypted or decrypted on any of the  
computer's storage devices.

Using the CipherUSB FLE To Encrypt Files  
Once The CipherUSB FLE has been initialized with a password (and has been  
unlocked if the Two-Factor feature is included), the software will present the  
File/Folder Encryption screen, similar to this:  
On the left side of the window is a Tree view of the computer's storage  
devices. Clicking on any of these will show their contents on the right side.  
To encrypt files, select one or more items on the right side, then drag them to  
the closed padlock icon in the upper-left corner of the window. To decrypt files,  
select one or more encrypted files on the right side, then drag them to the  
open padlock icon in the upper-left corner of the window.  
Alternatively, right-clicking on any selected item will bring up the context menu  
as shown:

Phone: 408-453-6212  
The File Encrypt and Decrypt selections in the Replace the Originals  
section work the same as dragging to the padlock icons.  
Choosing File Encrypt in the Create a new Folder section will cause a new  
folder to appear called AES_Encrypted, containing the encrypted version of  
the files. Choosing File Decrypt in the Create a new Folder section will  
cause a new folder to appear called AES_Decrypt, containing the  
decrypted version of the files.  
Performing encryption on a folder or drive will operate on all of the files in  
that folder or drive. Note: the encryption and decryption functions do not  
traverse through subfolders. Only the actual files in the selected folder or  
drive will be encrypted. Files located in subfolders will not be affected.  
Write Protect  
Write protection only works with storage devices that are removable media,  
such as USB Flash Drives or flash media in a standard reader. Write  
protection will not work with Fixed disk media, such as USB hard drives or  
SSD drives, the Addonics Pocket eSATA/USB DigiDrive, or eSATA hard  
disks connected through adapters such as the Addonics USB 3.0 to  
eSATAp Adapter or the Addonics USB 3.0 to eSATA Mini Adapter.  
Write Protection works by blocking requests from the computer to write to  
the media and does not protect the media from being written to if the media  
is not connected to the CipherUSB device. It only works with the drive  
connected through the CipherUSB.  
There are two types of Write Protection available:  
Write Protect Boot Record/MBR  
Checking this box will cause the CipherUSB to refuse any write requests  
from the computer to the first logical sector of the removable media. This  
feature provides basic protection against malware attacks that attempt to  
deploy payload at boot time or upon insertion of removable media.  
Write Protect Entire Storage  
Checking this box will cause the CipherUSB to refuse ALL write requests  
from the computer to the removable media. This feature will protect all data  
on the media from being erased or overwritten while in use with the  
CipherUSB device.

Updated Firmware  
Technical Support (M-F 8:30am - 6:00pm PST)  
Phone: 408-453-6212  
1. Read the firmware update for important changes to the unit's operation  
or the update procedure. If a firmware release note contradicts these  
instructions, follow the release notes instead.  
2. Insert the CipherUSB with a storage device. The CipherUSB will not  
respond unless a storage device is attached to it. 3. Run the  
CipherUSB.exe program. If the CipherUSB unit has not been  
initialized with a password, the Update Firmware tab will not appear.  
Initialize the unit with a password, unplug it, plug it back in, then select  
the Update Firmware tab.  
4. Be sure the DX Information section shows AES Length is 256 and  
ECB mode is selected for the CAUF1W, CAUF1W-2, CAUF1M-2 or  
CAUF1M. CBC mode for the CAUF2W, CAUF2W-2, CAUF2M,  
CAUF2M-2.  
5. In the Update new firmware section, click the Firmware button.  
Change the file type to “BinaryFile(*.256) if neces sary, then browse to  
the folder containing the new firmware and open it.  
6. Click the Start Programming button. A dialog will shortly appear  
instructing you to remove the CipherUSB and reinsert it. After  
removing and reinserting the device, the firm ware update will be  
completed.  
NOTE: The CipherUSB may or may not need to be initialized with the password  
again. If a storage device using the existing password is connected when the  
CipherUSB is reinserted and the file system appears intact, the password has been  
retained. Otherwise it may be necessary to set the password again.
