The concept of a flash drive with a combination lock

On typical secure flash drives like Corsair Flash Padlock or Verbatim Store'n'Go USB Business Secure, the data is encrypted with a 256-bit key that is quite stable today. The reliability of the AES algorithm allows the manufacturer to recommend the drive for use in banks and government agencies. All this is convenient, but entering a password each time is a hectic activity.

At least that's what designer Yun Hwan Sung thinks. In his Bill's USB concept, the owner will type the security code for the flash drive not in the application window, but "wind up", as is done with code locks in safes. There are numbers on the front of the Bill's USB ring, and pointers on the inside. In order to dial a password, you need to rotate the ring in different directions.

As an added protection, a built-in fingerprint scanner is offered.

The idea, in principle, is feasible even tomorrow. The only question is how much more convenient will it be than the standard filling in the login-password fields.
