Dell A8360320 Aegis ASK3-30GB 30GB Drive

Dell A8360320 / Apricorn Aegis ASK3-30GB 30GB FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Secure Key USB 3.0 drive by Apricorn

Built tough from the inside out, the Aegis Secure Key 3.0 is our most rugged encrypted device featuring IP68 certification against blowing dust and sustained water immersion. The Secure Key 3 also boasts the largest storage capacity of any device in its class. Software-Free, 100% hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encrypted, onboard keypad PIN authenticated, and ultra-fast USB 3.1 (3.0) data transfer speeds. All Data is encrypted on the fly and the secure USB flash drive device’s PINs and Data remain encrypted while the drive is at rest. Completely cross-platform compatible and OS agnostic, thrives in Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, Chrome, embedded systems, and equipment in possession of a powered USB port and storage file system. All internal componentry is protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy, and the firmware is locked down, making it immune to malware attacks such as BadUSB.

Meets the U.S. government standards for information technology and computer security. NIST FIPS 140 is the cryptography standard program required by the US federal government for protection of sensitive data. The Aegis Secure Key’s FIPS 140-2 validation covers 11 areas of its cryptographic security system, including physical security, cryptographic key management and design integrity. Available in four levels, the Aegis Secure Key’s FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation encompasses both the Aegis Secure Key’s physical tamper-resistant features as well as its identity-based authentication. Tested and validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use by the Federal governments of the USA, Canada and others, the Aegis Secure Key 3 is based on Apricorn’s FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated encryption module as indicated by certificate #2834.  The Secure Key’s security policy is located on the NIST site at the following link. The epoxy coated boundary includes all encryption functions and all Critical Security Parameters (CSPs) such as PIN storage, encryption key generation and storage, random number and seed generators, all firmware storage, and device storage. The FIPS module is a complete encryption system, and all CSPs never leave the boundary and are never shared with a host system.

Drive is Unlocked by Entering a PIN on Keypad and not the Host Computer’s Keyboard. Until the device is unlocked via its 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.

Creates State of User Forced Enrollment that Restores Access to Drive. 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 secure USB flash drive’s data remain intact. Once a replacement User PIN is generated, access to the drive is restored for the user.

Dust and Water Resistant Durable Aluminum Housing Protecting data goes well beyond encryption. Tough enough to go anywhere, the Aegis Secure Key’s resilient design makes it perfect for travel and field applications. With its rugged, extruded aluminum crush-resistant casing, the Aegis Secure Key is tamper evident and well-protected against physical damage.
