Aegis Padlock Secure Desktop Drive
We’ve taken our most reliable desktop model to new heights by raising the bar in security;
delivering amazing transfer speeds by way of a super fast USB 3.0 interface, combined with
FIPS 140-2 LEVEL 2 Validation for the ultimate in data security. With an easy-to-use keypad
design and software-free setup, the Aegis Padlock DT enables you to access the drive with
your own unique PIN.
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Validated: The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS 140-2 validation CERT #1965 is the
cryptography standard required by the US federal government and military for protection of all
sensitive data, covering 11 areas of its cryptographic security system, including physical security,
cryptographic key management, and design integrity. And with 256-bit hardware encryption, the
Padlock DT seamlessly encrypts all data on the y, within the drive.
Forced Enrollment PIN: The Aegis Padlock DT FIPS elevates your data security right out of the box
by placing a Forced Enrollment PIN feature at the front end of the setup process. Since there is no
factory preset admin PIN number, a unique admin password must be created and entered to begin
the initial drive setup.
Administrator Feature: The Aegis Padlock DT allows for one admin PIN, and up to four unique user PINS,
making this drive an ideal conduit for secure business collaboration. With the Admin PIN, the administrator
is able to enter variable settings and permissions on the drive.
Brute Force Self-Destruct Feature: 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 disconnected from the USB power
source and then reconnected in order to retry entering 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 drive.
VTC Technology: Protection against hacker attempts doesn’t stop with Brute Force. Incorporated into the Aegis
Padlock’s electronics is Apricorn’s Variable Time Circuit (VTC) technology, working to thwart “timing attacks” aimed
at accessing the drive by studying the behavior and inltrating the Padlock’s electronics.
Software-Free Design: Setup takes just minutes. With no software installation required for setup or operation and
the ability to run on virtually any platform that supports USB and a storage le system, the Aegis Padlock DT provides
stress-free deployment in all corporate environments. Its Administrator Feature allows enrollment of up to four unique
user ID’s and one administrator, making it an ideal conduit for secure business collaboration.
Wear-Resistant Key Pad: Designed with protection in mind, the entire Aegis Padlock family incorporates wear-
resistant keypads to hide frequent key usage and avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys.
Data at Rest Protection: All data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.
Auto-Lock Feature: Set the unattended drive to lock after a pre-determined period of inactivity.
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 xture for an added layer of physical security.
