Apricorn 480GB Aegis Secure Key FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated Encryption USB 3.0 Flash Drive

The Aegis Secure Key 3 brings a world of advanced data security to your fingertips, featuring software-free operation, cross-platform compatibility, USB 3.0, and high capacities. This USB 3 SSD drive incorporates PIN access with real-time 256-bit AES XTS hardware encryption, providing uncompromising security and ease of use.

The Aegis Secure Key's FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation covers 11 areas of cryptographic security, including physical security, cryptographic key management, and design integrity. Using a rechargeable battery, the Aegis Secure Key enables the user to unlock the drive with a 7-16 digit PIN before connecting to the USB port on the host system. This ensures that the PIN for the drive isn't entered through the keyboard on a computer, preventing key logger software from stealing the drive's PIN.

Secure Key 3 is Aegis Configurator ready and can be configured with independent Admin and User PINs, as well as Recovery PINs. The Aegis Secure Key's internal drive components are protected by a super-tough epoxy compound, creating a barrier that prevents potential hackers from accessing the encryption circuitry and launching various attacks.

Secure Key 3 also has several new innovative features not seen on a drive like this before, including two read-only modes, an optional self-destruct PIN, unattended auto-lock, and a drive reset feature that clears all PINs and destroys the data. Additionally, Secure Key 3.0 has a Lock Override Mode for booting an OS or passing through a virtual machine.

The Aegis Secure Key 3 is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified, offering robust data security and compliance. It also features separate Admin and User Modes, as well as Data Recovery PINs and a Programmable Brute-Force Defense. The product's ECCN (Export Control Classification Number), HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule), and Cage Code are 5A992.c, 8473.50.3000, and 3VYK8, respectively.
