It's a cable-less cable, says Anantharaman--the brain behind this utility device. "It's easy and secure like a cable for transferring files between two devices, but without the hassle and clutter," he adds.
Now, you can access data of you personal computers anywhere with the help of iTwin. You can secure all your important data, without the fear of losing your regular USB drive, with this new invention. Simply put, it's a cable-less cable, says Anantharaman---the brain behind this utility device.
Four years ago, when Chennai-born Lux Anantharaman, then a researcher specialising in cryptography and security at a government-run lab in Singapore, had an issue with his USB drive, he decided to do something about it.
"In spite of all the security work I was doing, I suddenly felt helpless," says Anantharaman. This experience led to the creation of iTwin, a pair of identical USB drives that share data exclusively between them over any connection without being accessible to any other system, reports TOI.
With iTwin, you can avail the entire data of your home-based computer, no matter which part of the world you are in at that moment. It's like your personalised cloud storage option where you are hosting your data for remote location access.
The iTwin is basically a pair of USB drives, which works simply like this: You need to insert one USB drive in the home PC and take the other device with yourself. Whenever the time comes to get your data, you just need to insert the second USB device with you in any computer. Now, here you can find all your data and files securely without needing any third-party software.
Anantharaman, who's a 1994 IIT-Madras graduate and an Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, post-graduate, says, "It's easy and secure like a cable for transferring files between two devices, but without the hassle and clutter. No tricky software installations, no lengthy configuration procedures and no complicated logins or passwords. Plug it in and you are ready to go."
