FIPS 140-2 ENCRYPTED USB 3.0 SOLID STATE DRIVE
Aegis Padlock SSD
Aegis Padlock Solid State Drive
Where super tough meets ultra secure you’ll nd Apricorn’s Aegis Padlock SSD.
Boasting a crush resistant, aluminum enclosure that is water resistant and impervious
to dust and grit, this secure solid state USB 3.0 drive is as tough as they come. With no
moving parts, this drive is drop and vibration resistant, unaffected by high humidity and
works in extremes of temperature.
Military-Grade 100% Hardware Encryption: Featuring AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption,
the Aegis Padlock SSD seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data
safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.
Software-Free Design: The Aegis Padlock SSD 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 Fortress excels virtually anywhere–
PCs, MACs, Linux, or any OS with a powered USB port and a storage le system.
Congurable: Create custom proles and mass congure multiple Congurator-compatible
Aegis devices at once with Apricorn’s new Congurator / Powered Hub bundle.
Embedded Keypad: All PIN entries and controls are performed on the keypad of the Aegis
Padlock SSD. No critical security parameters are ever shared with the host computer.
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Validated: The Aegis Padlock SSD’s FIPS 140-2 validation is the cryptography
standard required by the US federal government for protection of sensitive data. It covers 11 areas
of its cryptographic security system, including physical security, cryptographic key management
and design integrity. 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 Padlock SSD
Drive is based on Apricorn’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated encryption module as indicated by certicate
#2835. The Padlock’s security policy is located on the NIST site at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/
documents/140-1/140sp/140sp2835.pdf. 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, and all rmware storage. The FIPS module is a complete encryption
system, and all CSPs never leave the boundary and are never shared with a host system. By design, the
HDD/SSD that stores the encrypted data is excluded from this boundary to both maximize affordability
and product line exibility in capacity and form factor offerings.
Lock-Override Mode: Designated for specic cases in which the drive needs to remain unlocked, e.g., during
reboot, passing the drive through a virtual machine, or other similar situations that would normally prompt the
Padlock SSD to automatically lock. When enabled, Lock-Override Mode allows the drive 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 drive 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 modied. The Padlock SSD has two read-only modes.
One is set by the admin within the admin mode and can’t be modied or disabled by anyone other than the
admin. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by anyone with a recognized PIN.
Auto Lock feature and Self Destruct PIN: With the Aegis Padlock SSD you can set the unattended drive to lock
after a pre-determined amount of time. In addition you can pre-program your own unique Self Destruct PIN which, once
implemented, instantly destroys all PINs, data and creates a new encryption key.
Brute Force Protection: The Aegis Padlock uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack.
The rst step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user PIN. After several incorrect attempts the drive
will lock itself, requiring the drive to be plugged in again to input a PIN. This feature blocks automated attempts to enter
PIN numbers. Lastly, after a predetermined number of failed PIN entries, the Padlock assumes it is being attacked and will
destroy the encryption key and lock itself, rendering the data useless and requiring a total reset to redeploy the Padlock.
Wear Resistant Key Pad - Water & Dust Resistant: Designed with protection in mind, the Aegis Padlock’s ‘wear
resistant’ keypad and case is impervious to dust, grit and water, and hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to
the commonly used keys.
Integrated USB 3.0 Cable: Never forget your cables again. Connect the drive at the ick of a ngertip.
