Software-Free Design
The Aegis Secure Key is ready to use right out of the box-no software, no drivers, no updates. It can even be utilized where no keyboard is present. Completely cross-platform compatible, the Aegis Secure Key excels virtually anywhere- PCs, MACs, Linux, or any OS with a powered USB port and a storage file system.
Configurable
Create custom profiles and mass configures multiple Secure Keys at once with Apricorn's Configurator / Powered Hub bundle.
Embedded Keypad
All PIN entries and controls are performed on the keypad of the Aegis Secure Key. No critical security parameters are ever shared with the host computer. Since there is no host involvement in the key's authentication or operation, the risks of software hacking and key logging are completely circumvented.
Super Tough, Inside and Out
The Aegis Secure Key's rugged, extruded aluminum casing and polymer-coated keypad are resistant to dust and water (IP67 certified.) Inside, another layer of protection is added by encasing the inner componentry with a hardened epoxy compound to prevent physical access to the encryption circuitry.
Independent User and Admin PINs
The Aegis Secure Key can be configured with independent User and Admin PINs, making it an ideal device for corporate and government deployment. Should the User forget his or her PIN, the drive can still be unlocked with the Admin PIN after which, a User PIN can then be created.
One-Time Recovery PINs
In the event that a User PIN is forgotten, up to 4 one-time use recovery PINs can be programmed to permit access to the drive's data. Auto-Lock: Locks automatically whenever it's unplugged from its powered USB port, and is further programmable to lock after a predetermined period of inactivity.
Drive Reset
Allows the drive to be cleared and redeployed. Capable of generating an infinite number of randomly generated encryption keys, The Aegis Secure Key 3z can be reset as many times as desired.
Brute-Force Protection
After a predetermined number (programmable; up to 20) of incorrect PIN entry attempts, the Aegis Secure Key will conclude that it is under Brute Force Attack and will respond by performing a crypto-erase - deleting the encryption key which will render all of the key's data useless.
Lock-Override Mode
Designated for specific cases in which the key needs to remain unlocked, e.g., during reboot, passing the key through a virtual machine, or other similar situations that would normally prompt the key to automatically lock. When enabled, Lock-Override Mode allows the key to remain unlocked through USB port re-enumeration and will not re-lock until USB power is interrupted.
Two Read-Only Modes
Perfect for accessing data on the key in a public setting to protect against USB viruses. Particularly important in forensics, Read-Only Mode is ideal for applications that require data to be preserved in its original, unaltered state and can't be overwritten or modified. The Secure Key 3z has two read-only modes. One is set by the admin in the admin mode and can't be modified or disabled by anyone other than the admin. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be overridden by the admin as well.
Self-Destruct PIN
The last line of defense for data security is where all of the drive's contents must be wiped to avert breach. The Secure Key's Self-Destruct PIN defends against physically compromising situations by erasing the key's contents, leaving it in normal working order and appearing as if it has yet to be deployed.
Don't let its size fool you; the smallest secure USB drive brings the ultimate in portability, affordability, and data protection. Software-Free, 100% hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encrypted USB key, onboard keypad PIN authenticated, and ultra-fast USB 3.1 (3.0) data transfer speeds. All Data is encrypted on the fly and the 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 possessing a powered USB port and storage file system. All internal componentry is protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy, and locked-down firmware brings immunity to malware attacks such as BadUSB.
