DRIVE ENCRYPTION & DECRYPTION
Logicube Forensic Falcon™ User’s Manual 110
8.1.2 Using previously encrypted Destination drives
If a previously encrypted Destination drive is going to be used and the Falcon
has been turned off since the last time the encrypted drive was used, the
encryption settings must be set with the same encryption settings previously
used before connecting the drive.
1. Turn the Falcon on. Make sure the previously encrypted Destination
drive is not connected.
2. From the main menu, select System Settings from the types of
operations on the left side.
3. Tap the Encryption Settings tab.
4. Set the Cipher Mode, Cipher, IV Generation, and Password that was
used for the previously encrypted Destination drive.
5. Connect the previously encrypted Destination drive to one of the
Destination ports.
If the same encryption settings are commonly used, the
encryption settings and configuration can be saved as a profile so
they do not have to be entered manually all the time.
8.2 Decrypting a Falcon encrypted Destination drive with a Falcon
Falcon can decrypt a Destination drive encrypted by the Falcon. To decrypt the drive using a
Falcon, the correct encryption settings must be set. After the encryption settings are set, the
drive needs to be connected to the Falcon, and the Falcon can then be connected to a computer
via USB.
8.2.1 Step-by-step Instructions
1. Turn the Falcon on. Make sure the previously encrypted Destination
drive is not connected.
2. From the main menu, select System Settings from the types of
operations on the left side.
3. Tap the Encryption Settings tab.
4. Set the Cipher Mode, Cipher, IV Generation, and Password. These
should be set to the same values as to how the drive was encrypted. If
the values are incorrect, the drive will not be decrypted properly and
the data will be unrecognizable.
5. Connect the previously encrypted Destination drive to one of the
Destination ports
