Datakey is a manufacturer of rugged portable data carriers (memories) and
receptacles, based in Savage (Minnesota, USA). Their devices or
tokens are used for a variety of applications, including
Crypto Ignition Keys (CIKs), Traffic Encryption Keys (KEKs), PKI tokens,
biometrics data, Secure Data Transfer, etc., by commercial parties as
well as by the US Department of Defence (DoD).
The company was founded by Bill Flies 1 and was incorporated on 27 April 1976.
The idea for a portable erasable memory device was born after he saw people
writing down passwords on a piece of paper. The company's first product was
the ill-fated DK1400, soon followed by the improved DK1401.
Millions of memory keys and tokens have since been used at the heart of
military cryptographic products, and in medical, industrial and commercial
products [2].
On 14 December 2010, Datakey was taken over by ATEK Products, LLC,
and has since been operating as Datakey, a division of ATEK Products
(now: ATEK Access Technologies). The name Datakey is now used as a brand
name for the range of tokens and key storage devices.
