"The specifications of the 2.5in. Easy Nova Data Box PRO-25UE RFID
hard drive case by German vendor Drecom sound promising: hardware data
encryption with 128-bit AES, access control via an RFID chip compact
enough to carry around on your key ring and optional 160GB or 250GB
hard disk capacity. Swiping the RFID chip along the case causes the
integrated Innmax IM7206 crypto controller to reveal the drive as a
USB 2.0 mass storage compatible device to the attached computer. This
works under Linux and Mac OS X as well as Windows.
[...]
These regular repetitions continued, and the almost identical columns
of numbers suggest that the 512-byte sectors of your drive are not in
fact encrypted with AES, but merely with a constant 512-byte cipher
block applied as an XOR (exclusive OR)."
