Marketing description

Pocket-sized to securely carry your most sensitive data wherever you go, the Aegis Padlock 3 is 100% hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encrypted. The onboard keypad USB drive is PIN authenticated. All Data in this hardware encrypted hard drive is encrypted on the fly and the PINs and Data remain encrypted while the drive is at rest. Completely cross-platform compatible and OS agnostic, the Padlock 3 thrives with Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and Chrome. It also thrives where software-based encrypted drives won't even function, such as embedded systems, machinery, and any equipment in possession of a powered USB port and storage file system. All internal componentry of this keypad USB drive is protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy, and the firmware is locked down which prevents any modifications making it immune to malware attacks, such as BadUSB.

Product features

• 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.
