SuperSpeed RamDisk Secure v8.0.0.4 Desktop

Confidentiality, integrity and availability are
essential to ensure the security of information
processed and maintained by a computer system. A RAM
disk's intrinsic characteristics go a long way to
fulfilling these security requirements.

From a physical standpoint, the information
maintained in a RAM disk is highly available; its
access path is superior to all other storage
devices. Data flow between the RAM disk and the
processors travel the shortest physical path
possible, achieving the highest possible integrity.
The RAM disk's volatile nature and the fact that the
main memory and processors share the same physical
circuit board contribute to the privacy of
information stored on the RAM disk.

In Microsoft Windows operating systems, RAM disks
are generally managed by kernel-mode device drivers.
The kernel-mode environment is the security
foundation for the user-mode environment, with a
clearly defined, robust boundary separating the two.
RAM disk kernel-mode device drivers are protected
from user-mode components by that boundary. In
addition to the above, RamDisk Secure and RamDisk
Plus Secure offer the following unique security
features:

A RAM disk's contents is never paged out to a system
paging file. The memory allocated for a RAM disk's
image is not taken from the system's paged or
non-paged pools. Instead, the allocation is made
from physical memory, and is then managed
exclusively by the RAM disk's kernel-mode device
drivers. This ensures that no information present on
a RAM disk can be mined by reading the contents of a
system paging file.

When a user logs off (terminates a session), a
privileged process automatically wipes clean the
contents of qualified RAM disks present on the
machine. This ensures that no information from a
previous user session is present on any portion of
the RAM disks when the next user logs on.

When a RAM disk is removed from the system its
contents are wiped clear before returning the memory
to the system. This ensures that no sensitive
information is present in any of the physical memory
pages, which might later be subject to mining.

The wipe functionality in RamDisk Secure and RamDisk
Plus Secure meets the erasure (purge or
sanitization) requirements for semiconductor media
as set by:
╖ DOD 5220.22-M (U.S. Department of Defense)
╖ NCSC-TG-025 (U.S. National Computer Security
Center)
╖ AR380-19 (U.S. Department of the Army)
╖ NAVSO P-5239-26 (U.S. Naval Information Systems
Management Center)

The RAM disk device drivers have been thoroughly
tested to meet Microsoft standards for Windows
compatibility. Microsoft awards this logo to
products that deliver a reliable, high-quality
computing experience with Windows operating systems.
This ensures the integrity and availability of
information stored on a RAM disk.
