Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 16GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

The Aegis Secure Key 3, with its software-free operation, cross-platform compatibility, USB 3.0 connectivity, and high capacities, brings advanced data security to your fingertips. 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 is not entered through the keyboard on a computer, preventing key logger software from stealing the drive's PIN.

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

The Secure Key 3 also features several innovative new features, 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, the Secure Key 3.0 has a Lock Override Mode for booting an OS or passing through a virtual machine.

The Aegis Secure Key 3 offers separate Admin and User Modes, making it Aegis Configurator compatible. Its FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification ensures the drive meets rigorous security standards, and its data recovery PINs and programmable brute-force defense further enhance the device's security features.
