The iTwin is a USB device that looks like conjoined identical twins. IT enables secure Internet file access between two PCs. When plugged into two different machines, it looks exactly like two PCs joined by a cable, only that there are no wires. When paired, the 'twins' initiate and store a randomly-generated 256-bit encryption key that protects communication between the two machines. Access can be disabled via SMS.

The iTwin was showcased at the CES earlier this year and is set to make its commercial debut at the end of this year.
