Protecting You Always with Advanced Data Security
The diskAshur DT2 is an easy to use, ultra-secure, hardware encrypted desktop
hard drive with capacities of up to 8TB. Simply switch the power on and connect
the USB 3.1 cable to any computer and enter a 7-15 digit PIN, if the correct
PIN is entered, all data stored on the drive will be decrypted and accessible.
To lock the drive and encrypt all data, simply eject the diskAshur DT
host computer and the entire contents of the drive will be encrypted (full disk
encryption) using military grade AES 256-bit hardware encryption (XTS mode).
If the drive is lost or stolen and an incorrect PIN is entered 15 consecutive times,
the drive will reset, the encryption key will be deleted and all data previously
stored on the drive will be lost forever.
One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur DT
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 diskAshur DT

EDGETM Security Features
Offering advanced portable data security via built-in FIPS PUB 197 validated AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption engine. The data
encryption key is randomly generated by a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready Random Number Generator and protected by NCSC, FIPS and
Common Criteria validated wrapping algorithms.
Uniquely featuring a dedicated on-board Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor to enhance security through true random
number generation and built-in cryptography. The security component employs physical protection mechanisms to protect itself from any
external tamper, bypass laser attacks and fault injections and incorporates active-shield violation technology. More specically, the secure
microprocessor reacts to all forms of automated hacking attempts by entering the deadlock frozen state where the device can only restart
through a Power On Reset procedure (i.e. power off/power on).
All authentication parameters are encrypted and physically protected by the microprocessors’ memory encryption (scrambler) and access
control schemes.
The security lock feature protects the device against any unauthorised rmware modications from the host side (fully protected against
BadUSB)

Main Security Features Explained
Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism: The iStorage diskAshur DT
attacks. After ve consecutive incorrect PIN entries the drive will freeze, requiring the drive to be powered off and powered back on again in order to
get a further ve PIN entry attempts. If a further ve (10 in total) consecutive incorrect PIN attempts are entered again, the diskAshur DT2 will freeze
again. To get a further and nal ve PIN attempts (15 in total), the “shift” button must be pressed whilst powering the diskAshur DT2 off and then
powering back on before entering the iStorage preset PIN. On the fteenth consecutive incorrect PIN entry, the diskAshur DT2 assumes it is being
attacked and will delete the encryption key and lock itself, rendering all data previously stored on the drive as lost forever. At this point the drive can be
reset to factory default settings and redeployed.
Self Destruct Feature: You can pre-program the diskAshur DT

with your own unique Self Destruct PIN which, once implemented, instantly
deletes the encryption key, all PINs, data and then creates a new encryption key.

resin, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the components. This barrier prevents a potential hacker from
accessing the critical components and launching a variety of futile attacks.
