Introduction to SecureDoc
About SecureDoc
SecureDoc stops unauthorized users from gaining access to confidential data on your notebook or desktop
computer or on your removable media (USB drive, CD, and/or DVD). Once SecureDoc is installed and set up
on your computer, you and other users must be authenticated (using password, hardware token/smart
card, biometric, or PKI) before even attempting to log on to Windows: this is called Pre-Boot Authentication
(PBA).
SecureDoc is installed automatically on your computer and configured by your administrator.
As a SecureDoc user, you have access to WinMagic's MagicSync product, which allows you to encrypt and
securely share files that are stored in a cloud storage provider. See the separate MagicSync online help.
About Boot Logon
Boot Logon is the SecureDoc mechanism that performs Pre-Boot Authentication. Whether or not you see
Boot Logon as well as your normal Windows logon depends on how SecureDoc has been configured. You
can choose the language used for Boot Logon: right-click on the SecureDoc icon in the system tray and
choose SecureDoc Language Selection, then choose the language to be used for the client interface,
Boot Logon, or both.
SecureDoc’s Encryption Features
In addition to allowing you to encrypt your fixed disk, you can use SecureDoc to encrypt:
• removable media (USB, CD, DVD), encrypted either automatically or manually, for individual or shared
use (see “Working with Removable Media” on page 42)
• individual files and folders locally, on a network, or on a USB device, using File and Folder Encryption
(see “Using File and Folder Encryption” on page 50)
SecureDoc performs full disk encryption for fixed and removable media. This provides the most secure and
comprehensive protection for data. However, file and folder encryption has a useful role to play in a
comprehensive strategy for data-at-rest encryption. It is effective in protecting data files in transit,
securing information sharing, and defending against internal threats.
By shielding data files in transit — file transfers, e-mail attachments, etc. — File and Folder Encryption
provides a strong complement to full disk encryption, particularly when the functions are integrated under
a single management scheme.
About the SecureDoc Interface
Launch the SecureDoc interface from Start > SecureDoc Control Center.
You use the SecureDoc interface to encrypt removable media as well as to perform encryption
management tasks.
Use the navigation pane on the left of the screen to choose a function to perform. Click groups to expand
them, then click the function’s name. The corresponding data screen appears in the right pane.
Encryption Terms and Concepts
Using SecureDoc doesn’t require detailed knowledge about encryption and how it works. However, it is
useful to understand some basic terms and concepts.
Keys and Key Files
Like a physical key, an encryption key is used to lock and unlock secured information. Encryption keys are
stored in key files (you can think of them as the key ring that holds your keys). To access encrypted media,
you need to log on to the key file containing the key used to encrypt the media.

Password Rules
The key file identified during encryption of your fixed disk is your “default” key file.
A key file can contain multiple keys, and the same key can exist in multiple key files. For example, you
might want to share with other users the key used to encrypt removable media, but not the key used to
encrypt your fixed disk. If you have both keys in the same key file, you would create (or acquire) key files
for the other users and copy (import) the removable media key from your key file into the other key files.
Alternatively, you could have different key files for different purposes, logging onto each key file as needed.
More About Key Files
Key files have a .DBK extension (juser.dbk, sdadmin.dbk, etc.) and are protected by a password or token.
You can store key files in a variety of locations, such as your computer’s hard disk, removable media, or a
token. As long as your removable media is kept in a secure location, storing key files on removable media
provides more security than storing them on the hard disk. With key files on removable media, a hacker
who has access to a computer does not have access to the keys used to encrypt it. Their only option is to
attack and break the encryption algorithm — a nearly impossible task.
Key files are, themselves, encrypted.
Key files can be further protected with a certificate or protection key stored on a token or smart card.
About the Encryption/Decryption Process
During encryption, data is read, encrypted, then written back on the same sector. Once this process is
complete, any data read is automatically and transparently decrypted, and any data written is
automatically and transparently encrypted.
Note: Initial encryption is called “conversion”.
Once a file is accessed, it is decrypted in memory. If this file is saved elsewhere other than the encrypted
area, it remains in plain text. For example, if you open a file on your encrypted hard drive and save it to an
unencrypted network folder, the network version is not encrypted.
Password Rules
Password rules can be used to ensure that passwords are secure (for example, are made up of a mixture of
numbers and letters, are changed regularly). Password rules apply to a specific key file. For more about
passwords, see See "Appendix A: Password Rules" on page 59.
Key File Privileges
Key files are associated with specific privileges that determine what the user of that key file can and cannot
do. Privileges fall into two basic categories: user and administrator (admin). SecureDoc features are
available only to someone who logged on to the computer using a key file that has administrator privileges.
Key files created through the Key File Wizard are admin key files.If your computer was encrypted by
someone else, you may have a user key file, which enables you to read and write to encrypted disks, and
change the password of your key file, but nothing else.
Note: Users who log in with a user key file can create new key files for their personal use and have
all administrator privileges for those key files. However, these key files do not contain the key used
to encrypt the hard disk and so can be used only for removable media.
Administrator key files may contain the encryption keys for multiple users, such as those in a department
or division. This ensures that administrators, on behalf of the enterprise, can always access data encrypted
by users. This is an important safety precaution in case a user leaves the company without decrypting
information, or without leaving their encryption keys and passwords behind.
Note: You can lock specific users even if they have a valid key—see “Creating Backup Key File” on
page 21.

About Recovery Media
About Recovery Media

If anything happens to the computer’s master boot record (MBR), and the Boot Logon screen is missing,
the computer could be left inaccessible. Recovery media has been created for you.
Recovery media is specific to the individual computer: do not use recovery media unless you are sure it was
created on your computer.
Note: Because recovery media requires no password or token to access it, it presents a large
security risk. Keep recovery media in a secure location at all times.
Keep your recovery media updated, or you could encounter problems with restoring data. SecureDoc
prompts you to create recovery media every time the SecureDoc space is modified, such as when Boot
Logon is updated. You can create recovery media any time from the Control Center.
Note: Special recovery media is needed for self-encrypting drives (SEDs) — see “Recovery Media
for Self Encrypting Drives (SEDs)” on page 36.
About Password Recovery
SecureDoc provides several mechanisms for allowing you to recover a lost password:
• A password hint can be defined for a key file and revealed at Boot Logon and when logging on to Control
Center.This feature may have been configured for you.
• Self-help password recovery can be defined for a key file. This uses a series of questions and answers
gathered at encryption time or when a key file using self-help password is being managed. If the
password is forgotten, the user can answer the questions again and, if successful, gain access to a
protected computer.This feature may have been defined for you. Administrator-supported password
recovery is also available.

Chapter2
Accessing an SD-Protected Computer

Using Boot Logon
Depending on your configuration, you may or may not see SecureDoc’s PreBoot Authentication screen,
Boot Logon, before you log on to Windows. If Auto Login has been configured for you, you will have to log
on to Windows only once: for all subsequent times, after you authenticate to Boot Logon, your Windows
environment launches.
You can use Boot Logon to:
• establish a wireless connection
• log on to an encrypted device
• perform administrative tasks
• recover a forgotten password (see See "Recovering from a Lost Password" on page 34)
• change your password (See "Changing a Key File Password" on page 34)
Note: If you are unable to logon, you may be able to press F3, then click Save Log. You will be
prompted to save a log file that you can then share with your administrator for troubleshooting
purposes
Connecting Wirelessly
You may be able to connect to the SecureDoc Enterprise Server to authenticate, following these steps. This
feature is not available for Windows 8.
1. At the Boot Logon screen, click the wireless icon . A new screen opens.
2. If you have connected wirelessly before, you will see your previous choices: select the appropriate
choice and click Connect, then click Back to return to the Boot Logon screen so you can enter your
username/password.
If this is your first time connecting wirelessly, or if previous wireless settings are not appropriate,
follow the steps below.
3. Choose your Wireless Adapter Type, then click Scan to scan for available wireless networks.
Information about the found networks appears on the screen.
4. When you see your wireless network, select it and, if necessary, click Settings to make any
changes to your network settings.
5. Click Connect to connect to your wireless network. A new screen opens.
6. Enter your wireless access Password and click Save. Once you are connected, you should see a
prompt telling you that you are connected.
7. Click Return to go back to the SecureDoc Boot Logon screen.
8. Enter your username/password and press Enter or click Login. If the username/password matches
the one stored in the SES database, your computer continues to load Windows.
If you enter an inaccurate password, you may see a password hint. If you forgot your password, click
Forgot Password? and follow the appropriate password recovery steps.
Logging On
If desired, choose the language of the SecureDoc interface from the list.
Enter the userID and password provided to you and press ENTER or click Login. The userID is not case-
sensitive. Depending on configuration, you may be able to press ENTER in the UserID field to use a default
userID.
If the key needed to access the protected computer is stored on removable media, or in a different key file,
enter the full path to the key file’s location (removable media will need to be inserted) as well as the key file

name/username. If you protected your key file with a token or Smart Card, or if the key file is stored on a
token, you are prompted to insert the token or Smart Card.
Note: The key file(user ID) name must be in DOS format (“8.3”). If your key file is on a USB drive,
be sure that the device is detected in DOS.
If login is successful, your computer continues to load Windows.
If you enter an inaccurate password, you may see a password hint. If you forgot your password, click
Forgot Password? and follow the appropriate password recovery steps.
Note: The icon indicates your connection status to the network (a red dot indicates you are
not connected, a green dot indicates a connection exists).
Accessing Administrative Functions
Press F3 to show additional functions:
• Configuration (use to modify boot configuration; most of these settings should be changed only in
consultation with WinMagic Technical Support, or to uninstall SecureDoc - see See "Removing
SecureDoc From Your System" on page 41)
• Save Log (use to save information related to login attempts for troubleshooting purposes)
• Information (use to see details about your Network Interface Controller and any SES-related
messages)
Note: By default, your SecureDoc account will be locked after 15 failed login attempts. Another
user can login to your locked computer, but you will need administrative help to unlock it for your
use. Your installation may use a different value. You can change the value if you wish. See
“Changing Maximum Number of Failed Logins” on page 31.
Identifying Your Keyboard (Tablets Only)
Click to choose a different keyboard.
Note: You can also change the keyboard layout in the Control Center (see "Using Specialized Devices" on
page 24).
Using the V4 Boot Logon
SecureDoc includes two Boot Logon versions. If Boot Logon fails, reboot and press the “a” key while the
computer boots up. That will invoke the V4 version of Boot Logon instead.
To avoid having to manually invoke the V4 version in the future, you can set SecureDoc to use the V4
version of Boot Logon all the time: see “Choosing V5 or V4 Loader” on page 29.
Entering a Temporary Password (Single Sign-on and Password Synchronization)
If your ActiveDirectory administrator has changed your password and provided you with a temporary one,
you will need to re-establish the password synchronization between Windows and SecureDoc.
If you reboot your machine after receiving a temporary password:
1. You will see the SecureDoc login again.
2. Enter your original key file password: the login will fail.
3. Enter it again: you will see the Windows Login (including the Use cached Credentials option, to
be used if the computer is temporarily not on the network, for Vista/Win 7).
4. Enter your temporary password and, when prompted, enter a new password.
5. When you reboot again, you will be able to access Windows without specifying a password.
If you simply lock after receiving a temporary password:
1. Enter your temporary password in the Windows Login: the login will fail and the computer will lock.
2. Switch users.
3. The SecureDoc Login screen appears, as it did when you first booted an encrypted computer.
4. Enter your original key file password: the login will fail.
5. Enter it again: you will see the Windows Login and can proceed as normal.

Controlling Access to Computer Disks

About Disk Access Control
You can lock or monitor different functions performed on the different disks (both encrypted and not
encrypted) on your computer. You can monitor, but not lock, your boot disk, using one or all of the
following control options.
Setting Description
Lock means to restrict access in specific ways. You cannot lock the first
(boot) drive or the system drive of the disk where SecureDoc resides. You
should not lock disks to which Windows and other applications may need
to write. For removable media, “lock” means limiting the ability to work
Lock
with the removable media: if the media is not locked, the user can
encrypt, continued interrupted conversion, and decrypt the media
(potentially exposing sensitive data). When you lock media, you can
choose the specific restriction.
Monitor means to notify the user when someone tries to access the drive.
A warning message that the file is being accessed pops up immediately to
Monitor
any user currently logged in and to the user who triggered the monitored
event.
Log Write Access means to track writing to media in a log file. The log file is
Log Write called wr.log and resides in the UserData folder of SecureDoc. It
Access contains the date the data was written and to which file, the sector
modified, and the name of the logged on user.
Disk access control can be used, for example, to:

• block all write access to a USB drive, thereby preventing data from leaving the device or preventing data
being written to it while on the Internet
• block read/write access to a USB drive, thereby preventing others from loading software onto the
machine.
This function protects against accidents rather than malicious attacks. If a disk is not encrypted, restricting
access to it is not enough — a user could still boot from removable media and bypass the restriction
altogether.
Setting up Disk Access Control
Disk Access Control is defined as a profile. SecureDoc comes with a default profile which applies the profile
settings determined by your administrator.
To modify the default profile:
1. From the Control Center, click Tools, then Disk Access Control.
2. On the Profile Options tab, click Edit.
3. Follow the instructions as for a new profile.
To create a profile:
1. From the Control Center, click Tools, then Disk Access Control.

Using SecureDoc
Controlling Use of USB Devices on Computer
2. On the Profile Options tab, click Create New Profile.
3. Enter a name for the profile.

4. On the appropriate row, click one or more control option(s) to be applied. For example, click in the
Monitor column of the removable media row to monitor access to removable media.
Note: For users of BlackArmor devices, do not lock those devices.
If you chose Lock, choose a restriction from the Restrictions drop-down list in the appropriate
row. The effect of a condition is shown in the following table:
Access to Encrypted
Restriction Access to Non-Encrypted Disks
Disks
Read Only, unless Encrypted read only full
No Access, unless Encrypted none full
Read Only Access read only read only
No Access none none
Note: Locking write access to an NTFS file system drive will lock both reading
and writing, since even opening a document on an NTFS drive will write
information to the drive.
5. Click Create.
6. To activate the profile, on the Current Profile tab, click Select a Different Profile, then choose it
from the list.
You can choose to block all but specific authorized USB devices from being used with your computer. This
feature is required for USB storage devices attached to ports: if you enable Port Control, such devices are

Customizing Boot Logon

Making Usernames Case-Sensitive
By default, the username you enter at Boot Logon is not case-sensitive. If you want to make it case
sensitive:
1. In the Control Centre, click Boot Control, then Advanced Settings.
2. On the General Settings tab, choose User ID is case sensitive.
3. Click Apply. The next time you reboot, the username will require you to enter it considering the
case.
Choosing V5 or V4 Loader
SecureDoc includes two Boot Logon versions. By default, SecureDoc is configured to use the V5 loader and,
if it fails, use the V4 loader as fallback. If you consistently find the V4 version is needed for your computer
(this is rare), you can set SecureDoc to use the older (V4) version of Boot Logon all the time.

Using SecureDoc
Using UEFI Driver Hook
Note: Consult with your administrator before choosing to use the V4 boot loader. It does not
support all Enterprise features.
2. On the General Settings tab, choose Use V4 Boot Loader only.
3. Click Apply. The next time you reboot, the V4 Boot Logon will be used.
This function is also available from the Boot Logon Configuration screen: at Boot Logon, press F3, click
Configuration, then set Switch back to PBA to "Yes".
Note: You can also use this feature to force use of V5 boot loader exclusively or to use the V4 boot
loader and V5 as an upgrade (before Boot Logon loads, press "a" to switch to the V4 loader).
Using UEFI Driver Hook
This option permits the SD Client Administrators to enable / disable the driver binding for UEFI devices. By
leaving this option disabled, SecureDoc’s own logic will be used to manage such devices, which will work
better for devices that do not have full implementations of Driver Binding.
By enabling this option, the assumption is that the devices receiving this profile will have full
implementations of Driver Binding for UEFI. UEFI driver binding is special protocol, providing functions for
starting and stopping drivers, as well as a function for determining whether a given driver can manage a
particular controller.
Note: By default, the UEFI driver hook is not enabled.
2. On the General Settings tab, select the Use UEFI driver hook checkbox.
Masking Key Input
By default, the user name entered at Boot Logon and answers to any self-help password recovery
questions are shown in plain text, while the password is shown in asterisks. You can choose to have all user
input to Boot Logon masked.
2. On the General Settings tab, choose Mask key file input.
3. Click Apply. The next time you reboot, the masking will be used.
Boot Text and Color
Boot text and color options control the way Boot Logon appears. These options enable you to customize
Boot Logon to reflect your personal preferences.
If you plan to use a customized background, the graphic file needs to meet these requirements:
• 24 bit bitmap (.bmp) format
• 1024 x 768 pixels
• when zipped (SecureDoc zips the file for you), no larger than 0.5MB (you will be warned if your file
exceeds this size)
Only computers with a high resolution monitor (the most common type) will display the customized logo —
other monitors will shown the default Boot Logon display.
1. In the navigation pane, click Boot Control, then Boot Text and Color.

Using SecureDoc

2. Choose a text color. The results are previewed.

3. Optionally, click Import Customized Background and browse to the location of a graphic file to
use as the background for the Boot Logon screen. (See file requirements above.) Check Update
boot-screen background image when updating Boot Logon: the new background will
appear at the next Boot Logon.
Changing Maximum Number of Failed Logins
By default, SecureDoc sets a maximum of 15 failed logins (to Boot Logon). After that maximum number is
reached, the key file is automatically locked, regardless of its permissions. An administrator key or
password recovery needs to be used to unlock the device. Any time a successful login of another key file
takes place, the locked key file will be unlocked and the count begins again. If you want to change the
default number:
1. From the Control Center, click Boot Control, then Advanced Settings.
2. Change the value of Maximum number of failed logins.
3. Click OK.
Use of Token
If your key file is on a token, you can have Boot Logon look on the token, rather than the hard disk.
Optionally, you can have Boot Logon remember the key file on the token last used.
1. From the Control Center, click Options, then General.
2. Check Default to use “Key file Token” at boot logon.
3. Optionally, check If using “Key file Token” option, remember key file to be used next

Diagnostics
The “Diagnostics” screen in SecureDoc Control Center provides a regular (non-admin) user with the ability
to enable detailed logging in the SecureDoc Client environment. This will normally only be needed when
requested by WinMagic SecureDoc technical support, to provide detailed log information for analysis. Once
enabled, because of the additional load that detailed logging places on the computer, this feature is
designed to disable itself automatically after 48 hours, on the assumption that two days of detailed log
information should normally provide adequate additonal information to aid in troubleshooting.

Collecting Support Information and Logs
Enabling Debug Logs

1. Open SD Control Center.
2. Select the General tab on the left menu.
3. Select the Diagnostics tab. The Diagnostics screen appears.
4. Select the Enable debug log checkbox.
5. Click OK.

Collecting Support Information and Logs
There may be occasions where, when seeking assistance from WinMagic Technical Support, a support
member may request detailed device-level logs to aid in trouble-shooting issues on a given device.
SecureDoc offers an easy way to aggregate these logs, after which they can be sent to WinMagic Technical
Support.
There exists a batch file named collectClientSupportInfo.bat in folder C:\Program
Files\WinMagic\SecureDoc-NT\Support. This file allows the end-users (upon SES Administrator request) to
collect automatically aggregated device-level detail logs. These logs may be required by WinMagic Support
to troubleshoot issues on that device.
To collect support information and logs:

1. Go to C:\Program Files\WinMagic\SecureDoc-NT\Support.
2. Right-click on the collectClientSupportInfo.bat file.
3. Select Run as administrator. A file called <name>_wmSupportFile.zip file is created at

Viewing Encryption Status
Use this function to get a quick view of all the drives (fixed and removable) you have access to, their
encryption status, and whether or not they have Boot Logon installed. You may also be able to use this
function to encrypt or decrypt a fixed drive or removable media, or to re-encrypt a fixed disk. Encrypting a
fixed disk that is already encrypted does not encrypt the disk twice, but decrypts it and then re-encrypts it
with the new key.
In the navigation pane, click Drive Encryption, then Encryption Management. You see a new screen,
with a box for each drive (fixed or removable media) on your computer.
The list of drives available for you to encrypt or decrypt uses the following conventions:
• encrypted disks have an “e”, and the name of the key used to encrypt them following their name

Decrypting / Encrypting ALL Disks
• hard disks are named HD1, HD2, and so on

• partitions are identified by their drive letter (C:, D:, and so on)
Note: If you do not see a piece of removable media after you have inserted it, click the refresh
button .
If you check "No Recovery", then no recovery data is created during the encryption process. This speeds up
the encryption process. This option is useful if you need to quickly encrypt a new disk.
Do not select this option if the disk contains critical data.
The default setting for this option is set in the installation package. This option is applied for the initial
encryption of the disk.
Decrypting / Encrypting ALL Disks
This feature allows the users with Administrator rights to decrypt/encrypt all the device’s disks in a single
process.
To decrypt/encrypt ALL discs:

1. Open SD Control Center.
2. Select the Encryption Management tab.
3. Select the Decrypt All / Encrypt All button located at the bottom right of the window. A
confirmation message, "All disks have been set for decryption. SecureDoc Control Center will now
terminate", will appear.
4. Click OK.
Deleting Temporary Files (PH1/PH2)

This option allows users to delete the temporary files (PH1/PH2) that are generated during encryption
process. If the encryption process is disrupted for any reason (e.g. computer shutdown), these PH1/PH2
files will be stored in the respective disks / USBs and may prevent them from being encrypted.
To delete the temporary files, click the Remove PH1/PH2 button located in the Encryption
Management screen.

Working with Removable Media

About Encrypting/Decrypting Removable Media
You can choose to encrypt removable media either using full disk encryption (all contents of the media will
be encrypted) or container encryption (only the files and folders you place in a container on the removable
media will be encrypted).
Your system may have been configured to automatically encrypt all USB devices and/or removable media,
either with or without waiting for a response from you. Consult your administrator for guidance.
You can protect removable media either with a password or a key.
If you use a key, the key used to encrypt removable media may be any of the following:
• the key used to encrypt your hard disk (recommended only if the removable media will either not be
shared, or will be shared only with users who you also allow access to your hard disk)
• a specific key you select and may have shared with others (by creating their own key file and importing
the key into it)
• the key chosen by your administrator, which may or may not be shared with others (your machine may
be set to automatically encrypt)
You can allow access to removable media in any of the following ways:
• only to individuals who have the encryption key used to encrypt it and who can login to the key file
holding that key
• only to individuals who know the appropriate password
• only to individuals who have access to the certificate you specified at encryption time
• only to individuals with either access to the certificate or who know the appropriate password
Other individuals will need either SecureDoc or the free WinMagic MediaViewer application (along with
access to the necessary key or password) to view encrypted removable media.

SecureDoc installed on it, and who have access to the key used to encrypt the removable media,
clear the Encrypted media can be accessed with a password option.
• To have encrypted removable media available to anyone who is logged in to a device with
SecureDoc or SecureDoc MediaViewer installed on it, and who knows the password, check the
Encrypted media can be accessed with a password option (you are prompted for the
password when encrypting media). You will need to share this password with other users but
those users do not need the encryption key itself.
4. Choose the key and mode to be used to encrypt removable media (it is advisable not to use the key
that is used to encrypt your bootable disk) for these purposes.
5. Click Apply.
CD/DVD Encryption Settings
Use this function to define the key to be used to encrypt CDs/DVDs. Encryption occurs automatically
whenever CDs/DVDs are burned. This option is available only if CD/DVD encryption is enabled (see “Setting

3. Choose a key to be used for the encryption (it is advisable not to use the key that is used to encrypt
your bootable disk).
4. Choose how you want to be able to access encrypted CD/DVDs created on this machine:
• To have encrypted CDs/DVDs available only to those who are logged in to a device with
SecureDoc installed on it, and who have access to the key used to encrypt the removable media,
clear the Encrypted CD/DVD can be accessed with a password option.
• To have encrypted CDs/DVDs usable to anyone using a SecureDoc-encrypted device and who has
the appropriate password, check the Encrypted CD/DVD can be accessed with a
password option and enter a password. For security reasons, the CD/DVD password will be
erased when the computer is rebooted. Every time you turn on your computer and burn a
CD/DVD, you need to enter the password again (or a new password). You may will need to share
this password with other users.
5. Click Apply.

If Automatic Encryption is Enabled
If automatic encryption is enabled (this may have been set up by your administrator), when you insert
removable media you will be prompted depending on how this function has been set up. You may be:
• able to remove the media before encryption occurs
• prompted to enter the password for the key used to encrypt the media
• prompted to enter a password that will allow the encrypted media to be accessed on a machine without
SecureDoc
If removable media is not set to encrypt automatically, you can encrypt or decrypt it from either the
Control Center or Windows Explorer.
CD/DVDs will be encrypted at the same time they are burned.
Working with Removable Media (FDE) Using Control Center
1. Insert the removable media into your computer.
2. Log on to the Control Center using a key file containing the key you want to use to encrypt the
removable media.
3. In the Control Center, click Drive Encryption, then Encryption Management.
4. Select the box for the removable media.

5. Choose the Encrypt Operation.

6. Choose a Conversion Mode mode (see “Introduction to SecureDoc” on page 8).
7. Choose the Encryption Key to be used (one of the keys in the key file to which you are logged in).
Note: If encryption of the removable media is interrupted, and the media is accessible via
password, the password will not be applied, although it can use the Encryption Management
feature of the Control Center to apply a password to the encrypted media later.
Working with Removable Media (FDE) From Windows Explorer
1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the removable media you want to encrypt, right-click on it and
choose Encrypt Media.
2. You are prompted to choose whether to encrypt the removable media with a password (you will be
prompted for the password before encryption), a certificate, both, or neither.
3. You are prompted to confirm the encryption request.

4. What happens next depends on the choices made:
• If you chose neither password or certificate protection, encryption begins immediately.
• If you chose to protect the removable media with a password, you are prompted to choose the
password.
Note: To see the password rules in effect for this password, click Password
Rules.
• If you chose to protect the removable media with a certificate, you are prompted to choose the
certificate from those stored on your machine: choose the appropriate Certificate Store to display
the certificates in that store, then add them to the Recipients list.

Working with Removable Media Container Encryption
5. If encryption is interrupted, the password (if used) may not be assigned. If this happens, when
encryption is complete you can use the Encryption Management feature of the Control Center to
apply a password to the encrypted media.
Decrypting Removable Media
Do one of the following:
• In Windows Explorer, right-click on the encrypted removable media and choose Decrypt Media. You
are prompted to confirm (Windows 32 only).
• In the Control Center Encryption Management screen, select the removable media’s box and choose
the Decrypt Operation.
Note: In order to improve user experience when needing to decrypt media,
SecureDoc uses the "fast decryption" option, which in this case means that all
sectors that contain data will be decrypted back into Clear-text, but any sectors
that are marked as not containing data will remain encrypted (since those
sectors are considered to not contain data). This will substantially shorten the
time required to decrypt sparsely used media by not requiring the decryption of
sectors that do not contain "live" data.
Accessing Encrypted Removable Media
You must have SecureDoc or the free WinMagic MediaViewer application installed to work with encrypted
removable media.
When you insert the encrypted removable media in your computer, you may be prompted for the
password of the key used to encrypt it. If the encryption was done using PKI and you have the appropriate
public certificate, you will not be prompted for a password.
If Automatic Encryption is Enabled
If automatic encryption for container is enabled (this may have been set up by your administrator), when
you insert removable media you will be prompted for a password that will allow access to the container
from a machine that does not have SD. If a key has not already been associated with the container, you
will also be prompted to choose a key.
Creating the Container
When removable media container encryption is enabled, the first time you insert removable media in your
computer you will be prompted to create a container.

1. Enter a password (used to access the contents of the container from a computer that does not have
SecureDoc installed). Note that the password you set must follow password rules.
2. Choose a key (used to access the contents of the container from a computer that has SecureDoc
installed).
3. Click OK.
4. Encryption of the container begins (a progress bar is shown).
5. The container is automatically mounted and shown as a separate drive in Windows Explorer.
Mounting and Unmounting Container

Right-click on a container and choose Un-mount. The container is closed and only the unencrypted
portion of the USB is listed in Windows Explorer.
To mount it again, right-click and choose Mount encrypted container.
Decrypting Contents of Container
Move or copy files out of the container.
Accessing Container Contents
On a computer with SecureDoc installed, simply insert the USB key. If you are not logged on to a key file
containing the key used to encrypt the container, you are prompted for that key.
On a computer without SecureDoc installed on it, locate and run the RMCE Viewer.exe (this was
automatically created on the unencrypted portion of the USB when the container was created). The
container contents are shown in the viewer window.

Viewing the Removable Media Log
• To add a file to the container, click Add.

• To open a file, select it and click Open. Any changes you make to the file are saved back to the
encrypted container.
• To decrypt a file, select it and click Decrypt to, then choose the destination for the decrypted file.
Removing a Container
Note: Be sure to back up any data from the encrypted container that you want to retain. Once
you remove an encrypted container, all data in that container is lost and cannot be recovered.
1. Browse the removable media to locate the folder _$SDCE. If you cannot see it, set your folder
options to show hidden files, folders, and drives.
2. Delete the folder. All data in the container will be lost.
Viewing the Removable Media Log
If the RME audit log is enabled, this log file tracks removable media functions for removable media under
full disk encryption, container encryption, and/or for removable media under file and folder encryption.
The log shows the user who performed the operation, the operation type (create/delete/write/rename),
and other useful information.
To view the log, open the USBLogTxt.txt file, located in the SecureDoc installation folder.

Using File and Folder Encryption

About SecureDoc File and Folder Encryption
Note: Enterprise users may not have access to this feature or may have a local or networked
folder encrypted automatically. Consult your administrator to find out what File and Folder
Encryption features have been configured for you.
Overview
SecureDoc File and Folder Encryption is installed along with SecureDoc, and can be used whether or not
your computer has its hard disk encrypted and whether or not Boot Logon has been installed. You will need
a key file, however.
This feature can be used to protect folders on the local disk, using any encryption key on the computer.
Once a folder is protected, all users who could normally see the folder can see what files it contains, but to
do anything with the folder or its contents, users need both:
• access rights in Windows to the folder
• to be logged in to a key file containing the key used to encrypt the folder.
File and Folder Encryption Rules
The following general rules apply to SecureDoc File and Folder Encryption:
• Encrypting a folder encrypts everything currently in that folder.
• Anything moved, copied to, or created in an encrypted folder is encrypted automatically.
• If a child folder of an encrypted parent is copied or moved to a parent folder encrypted with another key,
the child folder becomes encrypted by that parent’s key.
• An encrypted folder or file copied or moved to an unencrypted location becomes decrypted.
Note: The above rules do not apply if the movement is within the same partition. If a file or folder
is moved from one part of a partition to another part of the same partition, the file’s encryption
status will not change.
Encrypting Folders
1. Right-click on the SecureDoc icon in the Windows task bar and choose SecureDoc Folder
Encryption.

Using File and Folder Encryption
Decrypting Folders
2. A list of folders that are currently protected is shown. For Enterprise users, these may have been
configured by your administrator.
3. Click Add and navigate to the folder you want to encrypt, choosing the key to be used,
4. To have the change take effect, reboot.

Note: The SecureDoc Folder Encryption screen shows the status of the folder encryption:
encrypted, encrypting, or “unknown” (reboot has not been done).
Decrypting Folders
Before you remove encryption from a folder, it is advisable to move the files in it to a new, unencrypted
folder. To remove encryption from the folder, select it and click Remove, then reboot.

Chapter8
For Users of BlackArmor Devices

Introduction
BlackArmor devices are factory-encrypted. You can use SecureDoc to manage such devices,
complementing the initial password, if any, assigned to the device with one associated with a digital key.
You can choose to manage BlackArmor devices either automatically or manually:
• Automatic management protects the device with the key you are currently logged on to SecureDoc
with or, in an SES environment, the personal key assigned to you. If you are not using Boot Logon, you
must create a key for these purposes and log in to it for automatic management to work.
• Manual management protects the device with the key of your choice. The most typical reason for
manually managing a device is to share it with others. You may want to create a shared or group key
and use it for such purposes.
Automatic Management
1. Insert the BlackArmor device in the computer. A new screen appears.
2. Click OK. A new screen appears.
3. Enter the MSID (located on the back of the BlackArmor device).

4. If the device is in the manufactured state (no password has even been assigned), the password field
is disabled.
If the device has been managed by Maxtor, or was managed by SecureDoc but that management
has been removed, enter the most recent password used to manage the device.
5. Click Setup. A confirmation message appears.
Manual Management
1. Insert the BlackArmor device in the computer. A new screen appears.

Sharing the BlackArmor Device
2. Click Cancel.
3. Open the Encryption Management screen (in the Control Center, click Drive Encryption, then
Encryption Management).
4. Select the BlackArmor device. It will be named HD2, HD3, or something similar (the hard disk is
always named HD1).
5. From the Action list, choose Manage BlackArmor device with key, then choose the encryption
key.
6. Click Start. A new screen appears.
7. Click OK.
8. A new screen appears.
9. If the device is in the manufactured state (no password has even been assigned), the password field
is disabled.
If the device has been managed by Maxtor, or was managed by SecureDoc but that management
has been removed, enter the most password used to manage the device.
10. Click Setup. A confirmation message appears.
Sharing the BlackArmor Device

If you have used a group key to manage the BlackArmor device, that key can unlock the device on any
SecureDoc computer that received the group key.
To share the device with computers that do not already have the key used to manage it:
1. Copy the key file whose key manages the device to the computers that are to share that device.

Using the Managed Device
2. On each computer that is to share the device, add the key file (see “Adding Users to This Computer”
on page 23)
Using the Managed Device
Once the device has been set up for SecureDoc management, when it is inserted into a SecureDoc
machine where the user is logged in to the key used to manage the device, it is automatically unlocked
(without a password being required). It may be necessary to wait for up to 30 seconds for the device to be
unlocked.
When a SecureDoc-managed device is inserted into a machine without SecureDoc, the password for the
key used to manage the device needs to be entered in the Maxtor Manager screen.
Handling Unexpected Events

If you attempt to use the BlackArmor device on a machine that does not have SecureDoc on it, you need to
know the password for the device. Since normally SecureDoc simply unlocks the device, you may have
forgotten this password. To solve this issue:
1. Return to the machine with SecureDoc on it and change the password.
2. Return to the machine without SecureDoc on it and insert the device.
3. When prompted, enter the newly created password.
If you lose the shared key used to manage the BlackArmor device, you can request it from your SES
administrator.
4. SecureDoc will report the name of the key when the device is inserted. For example:
5. Ask your administrator for the key and copy it to your machine, then add it to your computer (see
“Adding Users to This Computer” on page 23).
6. Re-insert the device. It will unlock automatically.
Removing Device from SecureDoc Management
1. Before you begin, be sure you know the password associated with the key file controlling the device.
This may either be the password given when the key was created, or the password as changed
following the procedure above.
2. Open the Encryption Management screen (in the Control Center, click Drive Encryption, then
Encryption Management).

Removing Device from SecureDoc Management
3. Insert the BlackArmor device.

4. Select the device.
5. From the Action list, choose Remove BlackArmor device from SecureDoc management
and click Start.
6. A confirmation message appears.

Appendix
Appendix A: Password Rules

Password Security Policy
The goal of a policy enforced when passwords are created or changed is to prevent certain types of attack
on protected devices. Here are some common attacks:
• Guess Attack — may be successful if personal information like phone number, license plate number,
pet’s name, etc. is used as a password. Such a password may be easily guessed by anyone who has
access to this information.
• Brute Force Attack — may be successful if the password is too short, allowing an attacker to try all
possible combinations in a feasible time.
• Dictionary Attack — may be successful if the password is a word of a real language, geographical name,
name of a person, etc. Modern information technologies provide capability to find equivalents of such
passwords for known authentication mechanisms.
The following rules help prevent these attacks:
• Password must be at least 8 characters long (protects against Brute Force Attack).
• Password must contain at least one character that is a lower-case letter, upper-case letter, digit, or
special character (protects against Brute Force and Dictionary Attacks).
• Password hint feature must be disabled (protects against Guess Attack).
• Self-Help Password Recovery feature must be disabled (protects against Guess Attack).
Configure your password rules and key file options so they enforce this policy.
Password Rules Screen
Password Composition
1. In the Contain at least area, specify the minimum number of characters and type of characters to
be used in a password. Click the arrows or type the appropriate values. Note that:
• numeric characters are the numbers 0 - 9
• non-alphanumeric characters are any character except A - Z, a - z, and 0- 9. Non-alphanumeric
characters include #,?, !, @, and so on.
2. In the Contain at most area:
• Specify the maximum number of repeated characters allowed in a password. A value of 0 means
any number of consecutive characters is allowed—for example, “passssssword” would be
allowed. A value of 1 means no consecutive characters are allowed—for example, “password”
would not be allowed. A value of 2 means no more than two consecutive letters are allowed—for
example, the password “passsword” would not be allowed. However, “PASSsword” would be
allowed, because the third “s” is a different case.
• Specify the maximum number of consecutive characters allowed in common between the old
password and a new one. For example, if you specify a maximum of 2 consecutive characters,
and the old password was “PASSWORD”, a new password of “WORLDMAP” would not be allowed,
because there are three consecutive characters (“WOR”) in the old and new password. However,
“WoRLDMAP” would be allowed, because the “o” is a different case.
General Options
Use these options to set up password expiry. Causing passwords to expire after a period of time increases
security since it requires passwords to be changed at regular intervals (people tend to choose from a limited
set of possible passwords that may be easily guessed by someone familiar with that person’s patterns, or
may write down or share their password). Setting password expiry options diminishes these risks.

Appendix A: Password Rules
Password Rules Screen
1. If you are acting as administrator to several users of this computer, to require users to change their
password when they first log on to SecureDoc, check the Change initial password option. Note
that users must have the Modify Password privilege to do this.
2. To set a minimum number of days for which a password must be kept, enter a value in the
Password must be retained for field. You will be prompted for a new password after that
number of days. Alternatively, set Password will expire in and indicate the number of warning
days. You will be prompted for a new password after that number of days. If you also check the
Enforce password expiry option, however, the key file will permanently expire when its
password expires. Uses will need access to a different key file containing the appropriate encryption
key to access media encrypted using the expired key file: use with caution in a single-user
environment.
Password Recovery Options
1. To prevent password hints from being available, check the Disable Password Hint option.
2. Set the minimum total length of characters used in answers to self-help authentication questions
in the For self-help password recovery... field.
3. Set the minimum number of questions a user must answer for self-help password recovery in the
For self-help password recovery... field.
Other Options
1. Set the Maximum number of passwords to be saved in the key file’s password history. New
passwords are checked against the key history file to prevent any duplicates from being created. For
example, if you set the history to 5, any new password cannot have been used in the past 5 times
the password was changed.
2. If you are using token-based key files, enter a value in the After a token-based key file’s
password... field. When doing password recovery on a token-based key file, a password-based key
file is created and used in place of the token-based key file. This option determines how long the
user can use the password determined by this process before having to run password recovery
again or switch to using a token.
Note: The password for the actual token can only be changed after the token is authenticated
and only if the token vendor supports this functionality. Password rule settings apply to all key files
created after the settings have been modified.

Appendix
Appendix B: Protection Methods
Method Description
SecureDoc uses the RSA keys on the token to protect the key files. During
login, SecureDoc uses the entered password to log in to the token.
SecureDoc uses the on-token RSA private key to decrypt and encrypt data.
Note that you can change the token’s password using third-party card
Method 1: Use management or PKI software; SecureDoc does not have to know that the
Token RSA Keys password has been changed. As long as the entered password can login to
the correct token with the correct RSA private key, you can log in to
SecureDoc. If the card has been lost and the card management software
can create another card and place the same encryption RSA keys on it, you
can use the new token to login to the SecureDoc key file.
If the token does not have encryption capability, use this method. The
token is used to store a “strong” PIN of 256 bits, generated randomly at
the time of creation. The PIN is used to access the key file.
During login, SecureDoc uses the entered password to log in to the token
and obtain the PIN stored in the token to access SecureDoc key files.
Method 2: Token
This method changes the tokens, thus is not recommended if the
contains PIN
enterprise relies on other third-party card management or PKI systems to
manage tokens.
For password recovery, the key file cannot be recreated. You need to
initialize a new token and create a new key file including the encryption key
used to encrypt the user’s computer.
During login, SecureDoc uses the RSA private key on the token as in
method 1.
Unlike in method 1, SecureDoc uses the certificate stored on the token to
perform the RSA public key encryption. The token must contain the
Method 3: Use certificate but it doesn't have to have the public key.
Certificate on token For password recovery, you only need to initialize a new token, make sure
the private key from the MS CA is created on the card, and give the user
the new card. The user can then restore their old token-based key file
because the token you gave them contains the private key that can decrypt
their original key file.
During login, SecureDoc uses the RSA private key on the token as in
method 1.
Unlike in method 1 and 3, SecureDoc uses the certificate from a file. This
token-based key file does not need the token to be present.
Method 4: Use
This is the preferred method for creating key files for an enterprise with
Certificate on file
PKI systems. A SecureDoc administrator can create key files for thousands
of users without having to have the tokens or the password to the tokens.
If you use this method, the interface changes to enable you to browse to
the certificate file.
Some tokens can use secret keys instead of RSA keys. You can use these
secret keys to protect the key file as well. SecureDoc needs the token
