SpashID Key Safe
A security device isn't exactly a sexy gift, but this one is a neat idea that will appeal to a geek's practical side. The SplashID Key Safe is a USB thumb drive that contains encrypted data you put on it. Insert it into a Windows PC or Mac, enter your password, and your data is available. Remove the key, and there's no trace of that data left on the computer. It's a handy way to carry secure data around, and at $30 works as a practical stocking stuffer.

Here's an end-of-week musing for you all. Did anyone happen to see last night’s episode of The Office? (Yes, I watch television, and I’m not afraid to admit it!)
If you did, then the intro illustrated one of the most common security faux-pas out there. In the opening scene the electricity goes out, and after a brief period, during which power is restored, each employee gets a pop up on their monitor informing them that the server is down, and a password must be entered.

It's easy to forget that not so long ago, no one was sure if Android would ever be relevant.

Lots of otherwise rational people use insecure passwords — “111111,” anyone? — or they store hard-to-remember passwords in a Word file. Either way, it’s a generous gift to criminals.
SplashID has some useful features. It can be set to close automatically after specific periods, for instance, to discourage snooping, and users can e-mail records from within the app. (The mail is encrypted, to prevent data theft.) Plus, the desktop program can securely store information on anything you wish, not just passwords.

If you have a problem remembering sensitive information or even secrets, this app may be for you. SplashID ($9.99) encrypts your sensitive data so you can have it ready anywhere. You just enter a single password (make it a good one!) to unlock everything. Archive credit card numbers, web logins, bank account details, and anything else. Great-looking presets are included for most situations, and you can customize the layout for anything, such as those not-very-secure password reset questions. With SplashID, don’t type in your high school mascot; the software will remember any answer, such as “xS34_wwE.” We recommend adding the sold-separately Mac version ($19.95) for quicker entry and syncing. Or use the desktop version free for 30 days to build your database and decide whether or not to buy the license later.
