Introduction
Note: The datAshur PRO2 rechargeable battery is not fully charged, we recommend the battery be charged prior to first use. Please plug in the datAshur PRO2 to a powered USB port for 30-60 minutes to fully charge the battery.
Thank you for purchasing the iStorage datAshur® PRO2, an ultra-secure and easy to use, hardware encrypted USB 3.2 Gen 1 PIN authenticated flash drive with capacities up to 512GB and rising.
The datAshur PRO2 incorporates a rechargeable battery allowing the user to enter a 7-15 digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) onto the on-board keypad to unlock the drive before connecting to a USB port. To lock the drive and encrypt all data, simply eject the datAshur PRO2 from the host computer and the entire contents of the drive will be encrypted (full disk encryption) using military grade AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption. If the drive is lost or stolen and an incorrect PIN is entered 10 consecutive times (default setting), the datAshur PRO2 defence mechanism will be triggered to protect against unathorised access.
The datAshur PRO2 can be configured with both User and Admin PINs and can also be programmed to include a ‘User Recovery PIN’ making it perfect for corporate and government deployment. As the datAshur PRO2 is unlocked via the on-board keypad and not a host computer, it is not vulnerable to software/hardware based key-loggers or brute force attacks.
One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant datAshur PRO2 is the dedicated hardware based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and fault injections. Unlike other solutions, the datAshur PRO2 reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in!

8.Setting a User PIN Policy
The Administrator can set a restriction policy for the User PIN. This policy includes setting the minimum length of the PIN (from 7 to 15 digits), as well as requiring or not the input of one or more 'Special Characters'. The “Special Character” functions as both the 'SHIFT ( 
) + digit' buttons pressed down together.
To set a User PIN Policy (restrictions), you will need to enter 3 digits, for instance '091', the first two digits (09) indicate the minimum PIN length (in this case, 9) and the last digit (1) denotes that one or more 'Special Characters' must be used, in other words 'SHIFT ( 
) + digit'. In the same way, a User PIN Policy can be set without the need of a 'Special Character', for instance '120', the first two digits (12) indicate the minimum PIN length (in this case,12) and the last digit (0) meaning no Special Character is required.
Once the Administrator has set the User PIN Policy, for instance '091', a new User PIN will need to be configured - see section 11, ‘Adding a New User PIN in Admin Mode’. If the Administrator configures the User PIN as '247688314' with the use of a 'Special Character' (SHIFT ( 
) + digit pressed down together), this can be placed anywhere along your 7-15 digit PIN during the process of creating the User PIN as shown in the examples below.
A.'SHIFT ( 
) + 2', '4', '7', '6', '8', '8', '3', '1', '4',
B.'2', '4', 'SHIFT ( 
) + 7', '6', '8', '8', '3', '1', '4',
C.'2', '4', '7', '6', '8', '8', '3', '1', 'SHIFT ( 
) + 4',
Note:
•If a ‘Special Character’ was used during the configuration of the User PIN, for instance, example ‘B’ above,
then the drive can only be unlocked by entering the PIN with the ‘Special Character’ entered precisely in the order configured, as per example ‘B’ above - (‘2’, ‘4’, ‘SHIFT ( 
) + 7’, ‘6’, ‘8’, ‘8’, ‘3’, ‘1’, ‘4’).
•More than one ‘Special Character’ can be used and placed along your 7-15 digit PIN.
•Users are able to change their PIN but are forced to comply with the set ‘User PIN Policy’ (restrictions), if and when applicable.
•Setting a new User PIN Policy will automatically delete the User PIN if one exists.
•This policy does not apply to the ‘Self-Destruct PIN’. The complexity setting for the Self-Destruct PIN and Admin PIN is always 7-15 digits, with no special character required.
To set a User PIN Policy, first enter the “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.

Note: When the datAshur PRO2 is in Admin Mode, the BLUE LED will remain on and solid for 30 seconds only, during which time the drive can accept instructions via the keypad allowing it to be configured with a host of security features. If no key event happens within 30 seconds, the datAshur PRO2 will exit Admin mode automatically - the solid BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle state (all LEDs off).
To immediately exit Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED), press and hold down the SHIFT ( 
) button for a second - the solid BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle state. To access the drive contents (data), the datAshur PRO2 must first be in the idle state (all LEDs off) before an Admin/User PIN can be entered.

10. How to check the User PIN Policy
The Administrator is able to check the User PIN Policy and can identify the minimum PIN length restriction and whether or not the use of a Special Character has been set by noting the LED sequence as described below.
To check the User PIN Policy, first enter the “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.

Press the KEY ( ) button and the following happens; |
|
|
|
|
||
a.All LED’s (RED, GREEN & BLUE) become solid for 1 second.
b.A RED LED blink equates to ten (10) units of a PIN.
c.Every GREEN LED blink equates to a single (1) unit of a PIN
d.A BLUE blink indicates that a 'Special Character' was used.
e.All LED’s (RED, GREEN & BLUE) become solid for 1 second.
f.LEDs return to solid BLUE
The table below describes the LED behaviour whilst checking the User PIN Policy, for instance if you have set a 12 digit User PIN with the use of a Special Character (121), the RED LED will blink once (1) and the GREEN LED will blink twice (2) followed by a single (1) BLUE LED blink indicating that a Special Character must be used.

11.Adding a New User PIN in Admin Mode
Important: The creation of a new User PIN must comply with the ‘User PIN Policy’ if one has been configured as described in section 8, which imposes a minimum PIN length and whether a ‘Special Character’ has been used. Refer to section 10 to check the user PIN restrictions.
PIN requirements:
•Must be between 7-15 digits in length
•Must not contain only repetitive numbers, e.g. (3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
•Must not contain only consecutive numbers, e.g. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4), (7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
•The SHIFT ( 
) button can be used for additional PIN combinations - e.g. SHIFT ( 
) + 1 is a different value than just 1. See section 8, ‘Setting a User PIN Policy’.
To add a New User PIN, first enter “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
1. |
