	FILLING FOR PHYSICAL-		Super Tough, Inside and Out: IP-68 certified as tough enough to go anywhere, the Aegis
	ATTACK PROTECTION		Secure Key’s resilient design makes it perfect for travel. Its rugged, extruded aluminum
	BRUTE-FORCE PROTECTION		casing is resistant to dust and water, and the keypad is wear-resistant. Inside, another layer
			of protection is added with the injection of a tough epoxy compound to prevent physical
	SELF-DESTRUCT PIN		access to the key’s encryption circuitry.
	LOCK-OVERRIDE MODE		Independent User and Admin PINs: The Aegis Secure Key can be configured with independent
			User and Admin PINs, making it an ideal device for corporate and government deployment.
	DRIVE-RESET FEATURE	Should the User forget his or her PIN, the drive can still be unlocked with the Admin PIN and a new
		User PIN can be created.
	AUTO-LOCK FEATURE
		One-Time Recovery PINs: In the event that a User PIN is forgotten, up to 4 one-time use recovery
		PINs can be programmed to permit access to the drive’s data.

Auto-Lock: Locks automatically whenever it’s unplugged from its powered USB port, and is further programmable to lock after a predetermined period of inactivity.

Drive Reset: Allows the drive to be cleared and redeployed. Capable of generating an infinite number of randomly generated encryption keys, The Aegis Secure Key 3 can be reset as many times as desired. Brute-Force Protection: After a predetermined number (programmable; up to 20) of incorrect PIN entry attempts, the Aegis Secure Key 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 key’s data useless. Lock-Override Mode Feature:Designated for specific cases in which the key needs to remain unlocked, e.g., during reboot, passing the key through a virtual machine, or other similar situations that would normally prompt the key to automatically lock. When enabled, Lock-Override Mode allows the key to remain unlocked through USB port re-enumeration and will not re-lock until USB power is interrupted.

Two Read-Only Modes: Perfect for accessing data on the key 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 Secure Key 3z has two readonly modes. One is set by the admin in the admin mode and can’t be modified or disabled by anyone other than the admin. The second read-only mode can be set and disabled by a user but can also be overridden by the admin as well.

Self-Destruct Feature: The last line of defense for data security where all of the drive’s contents must be wiped to avert breach. The Secure Key’s Self-Destruct PIN defends against physically compromising situations by erasing the key’s contents, leaving it in normal working order and to appear as if it has yet to be deployed.
