Being a combination of a USB dongle and a high capacity USB flash drive, TrusCont Secure Flash Drive (TSFD) has been designed specifically for these emerging needs. Preventing the end users from erasing, altering or copying the publishers' contents, software, documents or promotional materials can be published on a read only partition of the TSFD which. Publishers have the option of several layers of protection from password protection, time stamp (time limit), anti-rip,anti-copy, copy & paste and printing protection options.

For general use, the remaining capacity of the TSFD not consumed by the publishers' contents can be made available on a separate read/write partition. Enabling automatic launch of the publishers' software upon connection to the end user's computer, CD-ROM emulation and "Autorun" are additional important features of the TSFD.

Publishers, when distributing software and documents such as manuals, technical documentation, data sheets and eBooks using TrusCont Secure Flash Drives are assured that their content is secured from unauthorized copy and use. Protected software can run only when the original TSFD is connected to the local computer. While restricting the readers from altering, copying or misusing their content in any other way, publishers of documents such as e-books and technical manuals now have the means to distribute reading and reference materials. The flexibility of TrusCont document protection system also allows the publishers to enable or restrict specific actions such as printing and copy & paste for each individual document.
