Apricorn 16GB Aegis Secure Key 3z USB 3.1 Flash Drive

Small in Size Big in Data Security; Aegis Secure Key 3z
Don't let its size fool you; Our 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.

Featuring AegisWare™
The heart and soul of every Apricorn Secure Device AegisWare is our patent-protected firmware combined with the industry's most advanced feature set.

FIPS 140-2 Level 3
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 3z'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. As a secure USB drive 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 3z is based on Apricorn's FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validated encryption module as indicated by certificate #2824. 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.

Aegis Configurator Compatible
Windows-Based App that Quickly Sets Up Multiple Devices Simultaneously. Create custom profiles and mass configure multiple devices in a matter of seconds using the Aegis Configurator. To configure an expanded number of devices use the Powered Aegis Configurator Hub bundle.

Separate Admin and User Mode
Admin (Device Configuration) Mode and User Access Mode. The Aegis Secure Key supports independent Admin and 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 Keypad
Drive is Unlocked by Entering a PIN on Keypad and not the Host Computer's Keyboard. Until the secure USB drive 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.
