According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Vault is a hardware-bound file encryption application designed to enhance data security by ensuring that sensitive files can only be accessed when both a registered user's credentials and specific physical hardware - namely, the authorized computer and a designated USB drive - are present. Unlike conventional encryption tools that rely solely on passwords, USB Vault integrates multi-factor binding by cryptographically linking encrypted files to a unique machine identifier and the serial number of a removable USB device."
