Self-Destruct PIN: 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.
The NeXt Generation of
Aegis Secure Key Brings
NeXt Level Security Features
Our Fourth Generation of Platform Agnostic Secure Keys
intruduces a host of new security enhancements and up
to 25% cooler running temperatures, all packed into a lower
priced USB 3.1 (3.0) ashkey.
Military Grade 256-bit AES XTS Hardware Encryption:
All data is encrypted on-the-y with built-in 256-bit AES XTS.
Software-Free Design: The Aegis Secure Key 3NX is ready to use
right out of the box–no software, no drivers, no updates. It can
even be utilized where no keyboard is present. Completely cross-
platform compatible, the Aegis Secure Key excels virtually anywhere–
PCs, MACs, Linux, or any OS with a powered USB port and a storage le system.
Congurable: Create custom proles and mass congure multiple Secure Keys at
once with Apricorn’s new Congurator / Powered Hub bundle.
Embedded Keypad: All PIN entries and controls are performed on the keypad of
the Aegis Secure Key. No critical security parameters are ever shared with the host
computer. Since there is no host involvement in the key’s authentication or operation,
the risks of software hacking and key-logging are completely circumvented.
Super Tough, Inside and Out: The Aegis Secure Key’s rugged, extruded aluminum casing
and polymer-coated keypad is IP67 rated as resistant to dust and water. Inside, another
layer of protection is added by encasing the inner componentry with a hardened epoxy
compound to prevent physical access to the encryption circuitry.
Independent User and Admin PINs: The Aegis Secure Key can be congured with independent
User and Admin PINs, making it an ideal device for corporate and government deployment.
Should the User forget his or her PIN, the drive can still be unlocked with the Admin PIN after
which, a new User PIN can then be created.
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.
Removable Media / Fixed Disk Toggle: Congure at time of setup to be recognized by any OS or
machine with a USB port as one or the other
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 as many times as needed. Capable of
generating an innite number of randomly generated encryption keys,
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: Designated for specic 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 modied. The Secure Key 3NX has
two read-only modes. One is set by the admin in the admin mode and can’t be modied 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.
