Like a Limitless Capacity Secure USB Drive.
The iTwin is a revolutionary USB device that allows users to access files remotely. iTwin allows you to securely access your entire hard drive. It’s as if you are carrying an access-key to all your files in a device that fits in the palm of your hand. And unlike portable storage, iTwin lets your data stay put safely at home. iTwin is plug and play. Plug one half into an online computer and the other half into any other online computer and you are connected! View, copy, edit, and upload files to your computer. Data in transit is protected by robust AES 256 encryption. If you lose one half of iTwin, you can remotely disable that half. Your data resides on your computer not on someone else’s cloud server. iTwin works with Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows 7 ( both 32-bit and 64-bit versions), and Mac OS X 10.6 and above. It uses the familiar Windows Explorer, with drag’n’drop functionality. There’s nothing to learn and nothing to configure.

Features
“Limitless” Capacity
Don’t know what files you might need access to later? No problem. iTwin allows you to share all the folders on your computer’s hard drive and securely access them later. It’s as if you are carrying an access-key to all your files in a device that fits in the palm of your hand.
Unlike portable storage, iTwin does not store any anything on itself. It lets your data stay safely at home (or in the office).
Remote Editing
Remotely edit any shared file from any location. Those reports you were working on at the office can be finished on the road. Just take one half with you and instantly access and edit the files from your laptop. Or work directly on one shared version of a report with a colleague. Say goodbye to multiple versions of files flying around by email. Say goodbye to the headaches of needless re-work. Say hello to iTwin.
Data Backup
Backing up your data is effortless. When you’re on the road, you can use iTwin to move copies of files from your laptop to your home or office computer. If you are travelling and taking lots of pictures, you can free up your SD card by moving files onto your laptop or internet cafe computer and transferring them back home. iTwin will give you peace of mind and keep your important data safe and secure.
Simple and Secure Sharing
Plug one half into your online computer. Give the other half to your colleague, friend or client. Your two computers will be connected and you can securely and safely share files with each other, in either direction.
Share the latest version of a report or proposal, confident that your data is safe from man-in-the-middle attacks. Send your child’s recital tape to your parents across the country – our device is grandparent-friendly! iTwin makes hardware-enabled, peer-to-peer security so simple.
Share your Media
Drag ‘n’ drop all of your music, videos, and pictures into the iTwin window and they are shared.
Give one half to your family while living abroad and share endless videos and pictures – using a file-sharing service or attaching them to multiple emails would be time-consuming for you and a hassle for them. Or carry one half with you and plug it in at friend’s house or at a cafe. You will have instant access to all your shared media.
Network your Home Computers
You’re lying in bed with your laptop, and want access to the files on the family desktop downstairs. As you may have found out, networking computers together can be frustrating and time-consuming. Plug one half of iTwin into the computer downstairs, the other into your laptop, and they will be instantly connected. What’s even better – being on the same local network, speed of transfer will be very fast. iTwin makes networking a breeze.
One-time Cost. No Fees – Ever!
Don’t pay for cloud storage. Don’t pay for subscription fees for file access. Don’t get locked in. You have all the storage you need on your own computer and home hard drive. With iTwin, share it and access it from anywhere. Create your own personal cloud. All you pay for is the device itself. (Bonus: free software updates!)
Cross Platform
iTwin is both Windows and Mac OS X compatible. iTwin works on Microsoft® Windows® XP (Service Pack 2 and above), Windows® Vista, Windows® 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). iTwin also works on Apple® Mac OSX® 10.6 and above, i.e. Snow Leopard and Lion (32-bit and 64-bit).
TwinTrust™ Data Security
iTwin doesn’t store any data on itself. It just enables a secure connection between two computers. It is a secure USB device providing Two-Factor Authentication – Your remote data can only be accessed if you have the physical iTwin with you. Additionally, you can set up an optional password.
Remote Disable
iTwin includes a feature that allows you to remotely disable the connection should you lose either half. So you can rest assured that your data is safe, even if the device is lost or stolen.

Security Specs
State-of-the-Art Crypto
- iTwin uses industry best practices and thoroughly analyzed crypto protocols and algorithms
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 bit encryption is used to protect all data communications
- AES encryption standard has not been broken so far and many consider it to be military grade
- All data amenable to compression is first compressed before encryption
Remote Disable
- When your iTwin is paired and plugged in for the first time, the owner is sent a Remote Disable Code (through email) which can be used to break the connection between the two halves
- Using this disable code, if an iTwin is missing or stolen, it can be disabled remotely
Smart Key Generation
- Two iTwin halves together generate a random 256-bit AES key, every time they are physically paired and plugged into a computer
- Smart Key generation is assisted by the computer to add randomness
- Smart Crypto Key resides only on the two halves of the iTwin
- Smart Crypto Key is used for encrypting all data traffic between two iTwins
- Patent-pending technology
Password Support
- Passwords of any length can be set
- Unlike other web services, iTwin’s password is stored on itself, not on any server
- If you forget your password, simply pair both halves of your iTwin, plug them into a computer and set a new password. No need for tech support!
TwinTrust Authentication
- Before allowing any data transfer, every iTwin is authenticated by iTwin’s TwinTrust servers
- All communication between iTwin and TwinTrust is secured using industry strength HTTPS (RSA 1024 bit, 128 bit RC4) protocol
- After successful authentication by TwinTrust, TwinTrust assists iTwin to discover its other half
Two-Factor Authentication
- After authenticating with TwinTrust, two halves of iTwin mutually authenticate each other using their pre-shared AES 256 bit crypto key
- If password is set, then password verification is performed on both iTwins before data transfer is initiated between the two halves
Connectivity
Just Connects
- As long as iTwin is plugged into two internet connected computers, iTwin allows computer to computer file transfer anywhere on Earth
- iTwin detects almost all types of proxies, firewalls and NATs – and self-configures
- In case one or both iTwin halves are not directly accessible (behind firewalls), iTwin encrypted data traffic is relayed through globally distributed servers (amazon EC2 based)
Powered by AWS Web Services
- iTwin uses Amazon Web Services infrastructure with 99.5% availability to ensure fast, safe and secure data relays
Privacy
- All data is encrypted before it leaves your computer. Your data remains encrypted until it reaches the computer where the second half of iTwin is attached
- Your data is never stored on any iTwin server. Your data is stored only on your computer
Seamless Handling of Network Interruptions
- In case of internet disruption, iTwin file transfers pause
- When the internet connection is resumed, iTwin software continues file transfer from where it left off
- iTwin’s progress bar indicates the amount left to be transferred
Transfer Limits
- Unlike many cloud based storage services, iTwin allows you to transfer as much data as you want. The only constraint is the limit of your ISP’s bandwidth allowances
- With iTwin, you don’t need to worry about monthly allowances or bandwidth limits when you transfer large files online
