Customer Testimonial

"SanDisk and Discretix have cooperated extensively over the past years to incorporate Discretix' CryptoFlash technology into SanDisk's TrustedFlash technology platform that is the foundation of SanDisk's TrustedFlash cards that we are introducing today. The combination of SanDisk's 32-bit controller architecture and Discretix's hardware cryptographic engine design provides TrustedFlash cards with the high performance encryption of downloaded content in real time, without compromising either security or performance.
