Description
The 22TB Aegis Padlock DT FIPS 140-2 Level 2-Validated External Desktop Drive from Apricorn is an encrypted desktop hard drive that's designed to meet the FIPS 140-2 Level-2 standard for cryptographic security. Boasting on-the-fly AES 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock DT FIPS desktop drive comes equipped with an integrated, wear-resistance 10-digit keypad for entering PINs, as well as a heat-dissipating aluminum enclosure. Offering data transfer rates up to 5 Gb/s, the plug-and-play Aegis Padlock DT features a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B interface, brute-force protection, forced administrator and user enrollment, an auto-lock mode, and a lock override mode. Its administrator feature allows enrollment of up to four unique user PINs and one administrator PIN, making it ideal for collaboration. The drive comes with a USB Type-B to Type-A cable and an AC adapter. General FeaturesFeaturing AegisWare The heart and soul of every Apricorn Secure Device, AegisWare is a patent-protected firmware combined with an advanced feature set.FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Inside 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 Padlock DT's FIPS 140-2 validation covers 11 areas of its cryptographic security system, including physical security, cryptographic key management, and design integrity. The Aegis Padlock DT's FIPS 140-2 Level 2 encryption validation encompasses both the Padlock DT's physical tamper-resistant features, as well as its identity-based authentication. 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 DT Drive is based on Apricorn's FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated encryption module as indicated by certificate #3944. 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 firmware 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 flexibility in capacity and form factor offerings.Aegis Configurator Compatible 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 The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS supports one independent admin and up to four 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 and Wear-Resistant Onboard Keyboard Until the 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.Admin Forced Enrollment Out of the box, there are no factory pre-set default PINs. In order to set up and use the drive, a unique PIN must first be established by the admin, from within the Admin Mode.User-Forced Enrollment Once a device is configured by the admin, it can then be deployed in a state of USER FORCED ENROLLMENT in which the user must first establish his or her own PIN before the drive can be accessed or used.Two Read-Only Modes Employed in situations that require the drive's contents to be kept inta
