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 #2835. The Padlock DT'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, 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.

Security for your Desktop

Simple to setup, software-free and on-the-fly AES Hardware Encryption, the Aegis Padlock DT FIPS takes the perfect desktop companion to the highest level of security

Apart from setting up a password on your desktop and a perhaps a firewall, we often don't consider the security of the files on our desktop machines. Information such as customer files, credit card information or proprietary company data should be kept secure, but should be easy to access by authorized personnel. Enter the Aegis Padlock DT FIPS, designed specifically for desktop systems, this high capacity desktop external drive has everything you need to keep you files secure.

Utilizes Military Grade FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm
Featuring AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock DT FIPS seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive on-the-fly, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.

Super fast USB 3.0 Connection - Data transfer speeds up to 10X faster than USB 2.0
With a super speed USB 3.0 interface, you can now access your files faster than ever before. The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.

Software Free Design - With no admin rights to contend with, the Aegis Padlock DT FIPS is a breeze to implement
With no software installation required for setup or operation and the ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock DT provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS can be configured with independent Admin and User PINs. The Administrator Feature allows enrollment of up to five unique User ID's and one Administrator. If the User forgets their PIN, the drive can be unlocked using the Admin PIN.

Drive Reset Feature
The Aegis Padlock DT also employs a useful drive reset feature, which can be implemented with a unique command. This clears all PINs and data, and creates a new randomly generated encryption key, enabling the drive to be reset and redeployed as many times as needed.

Auto-lock Feature
The unattended Aegis Padlock DT can be configured to lock after a pre-determined amount of inactivity time of your choosing. Ideal for protecting your data when you're away from your desk.

Lock Slot for Additional Security
Compatible with most standard security locks, the Aegis Padlock DT's lock slot enables the drive to be secured to your desk or other permanent fixture for an added layer of physical security.

Data at Rest Protection
All data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.

Brute Force Self Destruct Feature
The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack. The first 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 DT 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 Aegis Padlock DT FIPS.

Our Toughest, Fastest,Most Secure Drive Yet.

Designed and built to COMPLETELY meet NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 3 requirements (pending 1Q 2019) meaning that the entire device-the hard drive, electronics, external fasteners, even the enclosure itself-are included within this elevated FIPS validation boundary. The tamper resistant enclosure is milled from a solid block of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum alloy, snap-off uni-directional security fasteners, and a membrane-style keypad. The Aegis Fortress L3 is the perfect combination of software-free operation, advanced read / write speeds, and the highest level of security and durability.

Military-Grade 100% Hardware Encryption: Featuring AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Fortress L3 seamlessly encrypts all data as it's being written to the drive on the fly, protecting your data even if the hard drive is extracted from its enclosure.

Software-Free Design: The Aegis Fortress L3 is ready to use right out of the box; no software, no drivers, no updates. Completely cross-platform compatible, the L3 excels on any PC, MAC, Linux, or any mass storage compliant system with a powered USB port.

Forced Enrollment: Like all Apricorn Secure Drives, the Fortress L3 has no factory-preset default PIN, thus eliminating the common security vulnerability found in other manufacturer's encrypted drives. With Forced Enrollment, the admin is required to establish a sufficiently complex PIN before the device can ever be set up or used.

Configurable: Create custom profiles and mass configure multiple Aegis devices at once with Apricorn's Aegis Configurator (sold separately).

Onboard Keypad: All PIN entries are performed on the device's keypad making it compatible with systems without keyboards, and shares no critical security parameters with its host computer.

Lock-Override Mode: Designated for specific 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 our drives to automatically lock. When enabled, Lock-Override Mode allows the L3 to remain unlocked through USB port re-enumeration and will not re-lock until USB power is interrupted or the LOCK button is pressed.

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 modified. The Fortress has two read-only modes. The first is set within the Admin mode and can only be enabled or disabled with the Admin PIN. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by anyone with a valid PIN.

Data Recovery PINs: In the case of lost or forgotten User PINs, up to four single-use Data Recovery PINs can be programmed and used to restore access to the data on the drive.

Brute Force Protection: After a predetermined number (programmable; up to 20) of consecutive incorrect PIN entry attempts has occurred, the L3 will conclude that it is under Brute Force Attack and will respond by performing a crypto-erase - deleting the encryption key which will render all of the drive's data useless.

Wear-Resistant Keypad - Water & Dust Resistant: Designed with protection in mind, the Aegis Fortress L3's keypad is impervious to dust, grit, and water, and the buttons coated with a durable polymer that defends against surface wear, which could tip off a potential hacker to the drive's most frequently used buttons.
