Aegis Padlock 3.0

The Aegis Padlock 3 comes in a huge variety of storage capacities in both HDD and high-speed SSD. The onboard keypad USB drive is PIN authenticated and supports USB 3.1 (3.0) data transfer speeds. The PINs and Data on this hardware encrypted hard drive are encrypted while the drive is in use. The Padlock 3 works with Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, and Chrome. It also works in places where software-based encrypted drives can’t, like embedded systems, machines, and anything with a powered USB port and storage file system. The firmware is also locked down, making it immune to malware attacks like BadUSB.

Military-grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption

Featuring AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock 3.0 seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive on-the-fly, keeping all encryption keys, PINs, and data at rest safe even if the hard drive is extracted from its enclosure.

Polymer-Coated Keypad

Drive is unlocked by entering a PIN on the keypad. By excluding the host system from the authentication process, the embedded keypad defeats all hardware and software key logging attempts. The polymer-coated prevents revealing the commonly used buttons.

Two Read-only Modes

Admin control global, all-access settings and User control individual settings. Universal Read Only is set by the admin and can’t be modified or disabled only by admin. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be enabled or disabled by the admin.

Separate Admin and User Mode

Admin (Device Configuration) and User Access. Admin and User PINs are separate on the Aegis Fortress L3. The Admin mode controls the device’s universal programmable settings and requires the Admin PIN. The User mode can only read/write, unlock/lock external drives. The admin PIN can also access the drive’s data in User mode.

Admin & User Forced Enrollment

During setup, a unique PIN must be created. Before using or writing to the Fortress L3, or any other Apricorn secure drive, the admin must create a complex, unique PIN. A second user PIN can be generated to access the device’s data. This PIN can be set up by the admin during initial configuration, or by the intended user prior to using the device.

Data Recovery PINs

Restores access to drive by requiring user enrollment. It is possible for an admin to re-enrol a device in User Forced Enrollment mode if a User PIN is forgotten. It is possible to generate a new User PIN to replace an old one.

Malware Prevention

All internal componentry is protected from physical tampering with a layer of hardened epoxy, and the firmware is locked down to prevent any modifications making it impervious to malware attacks such as BadUSB

Brute-Force Defense

Select the number of consecutive invalid PIN attempts permitted (4-20) before crypto-erase. Your data is safeguarded from physical brute force attacks by a programmable “Brute Force Hack Defense Mechanism” that deletes the encryption key after unsuccessful password entries.

Unattended Auto Lock

Programmable Length of Time of Inactivity Permitted Before Drive Locks Itself. All Aegis Secure Drives will automatically lock once disconnected from a computer’s USB port or the power to that USB port is interrupted, or after a pre-programmed period of inactivity.

Drive Reset Feature

Reset and re-deploy Apricorn devices. Drive reset clears both the User and Admin PINs, destroys data, creates a new randomly generated encryption key, and allows the drive to be reused indefinitely.

Self-Destruct PIN

When activated it generates a new PIN to ensure data security when the device’s physical security is compromised. it erases the drive’s contents but leaves it in working order and ready to deploy.
