Military-grade FIPS PUB 197 validated encryption.
Featuring AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock 3.0 seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive on the fly, keeping all encryption keys, PINs, and data at rest safe even if the hard drive is extracted from its enclosure.
Separate Admin and User modes.
The Aegis Padlock supports one independent Admin and up to four separate User PINs. The Admin mode controls the universal programmable settings of the device and can only be accessed with the Admin PIN. The User mode is limited to basic external drive functions like read/write, unlock/lock, etc. The data on the drive can also be accessed with the admin PIN in the User mode.
Polymer-coated wear-resistant onboard membrane type keypad.
Until the keypad USB drive is unlocked via its onboard keypad, it remains invisible to the host. The embedded keypad circumvents all hardware and software key logging attempts to capture passwords by excluding the host system from the authentication process. Polymer-coated buttons are wear-resistant and designed to not reveal most commonly used buttons to unlock the hardware encrypted USB drive.
Data recovery PINs.
In the event that a User PIN is forgotten, Recovery PINs can be programmed into the device to permit access to the drive's data by creating a new state of User Forced Enrollment while the Admin PIN and the drive's data remain intact. Once a replacement User PIN is generated, access to the drive is restored for the user.
Brute force defense.
All Aegis secure drives are unlocked (authenticated) by entering a PIN on their own onboard keypad. Since the PIN is not entered using the host computer's keyboard, they are not vulnerable to software or hardware-based key-loggers or software-based brute force attacks. However, if the device comes under a physical brute force attack, your data is protected with a programmable "Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism" which, if the programmed number (between 4 and 20) of consecutive incorrect password entries has been attempted, the hardware-encrypted hard drive device will delete its own encryption key and destroy the ability to decrypt its stored data.
Unattended auto lock.
All Aegis secure drives will automatically lock once disconnected from a computer's USB port or the power to that USB port is interrupted, or after a pre-programmed period of inactivity.
