Description

A PIN on the keypad: protection that does not depend on the computer

A built-in rechargeable battery lets you enter the PIN before the drive is plugged in, so malware on the computer has no way to capture the keystrokes. The circuitry is covered in epoxy that destroys the components if removed, and the casing shows signs of tampering. Ten wrong user PINs lock the drive; ten wrong admin PINs in a row crypto-erase it for good. Digitally signed firmware protects against BadUSB attacks.

Who this USB flash drive is for

Companies and public bodies that carry personal data, contracts or medical records and need to show their level of encryption; IT administrators who load files onto the drive and switch on global read-only mode so users can view the data but not change it; and anyone who moves between Windows, Mac, Chromebook and Android devices.

Questions & answers

What happens if I forget the PIN?

If both an admin and a user PIN are set, the admin can restore the user PIN and unlock access. If the admin PIN is entered wrongly ten times in a row, the drive crypto-erases the data permanently and resets.

Does it work with a Mac and an Android phone?

Yes. The manufacturer lists Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS and Android. Since the drive is unlocked on its keypad, the device sees it as ordinary USB storage once it is open.

What does FIPS 140-3 Level 3 mean?

It is a security level defined by the US standards body NIST that covers resistance to physical tampering as well as encryption. The Keypad 200 series is validated against it under certificate number 5133.
