Aegis Padlock 

Looking for the highest level of security for your data while utilizing the fastest USB 3.0 speeds? 

Look no further than the Aegis Padlock Fortress FIPS 140-2 Validated Drive, certified and tested 

to NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements.  Sporting an easy-to-use keypad design that is impervious 

to dust and grit, with a software free setup and operation, the Aegis Padlock Fortress enables you 

to access the drive simply and easily with your own unique PIN. And with a super fast integrated 

USB 3.0 cable, you can access your data faster than ever before. 

The Aegis Padlock Fortress FIPS 140-2 validation is the cryptography 

standard required by the US federal government for protection of sensitive data. It covers 11 areas 

of its cryptographic security system, including physical security, cryptographic key management and 

design integrity.

 

Featuring AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the Aegis Padlock seamlessly 

encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.

Setup takes just minutes. With no software installation required for setup or operation and the 

ability to run on any platform, the Aegis Padlock provides stress free deployment in corporate environments. 

Its Administrator feature allows enrollment of up to four unique user ID’s and one administrator, making it a 

useful business collaboration tool.

 

All data, PINs, and encryption keys are always encrypted while at rest.

  

The Aegis Padlock also employs a useful drive reset feature, which can be implemented 

with a unique command. This clears all PINs and data, and creates a new randomly generated encryption key, 

enabling the drive to be reset and redeployed as many times as needed.

 

With the Aegis Padlock FIPS you can set the unattended drive to 

lock after a pre-determined amount of time. In addition you can pre-program your own unique Self Destruct PIN 

which, once implemented, instantly destroys all PINs, data and creates a new encryption key.

 

The Aegis Padlock uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack. 

The first 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 plugged in again to input 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 Padlock.

 

Designed with protection in mind, the Aegis Padlock’s ‘wear 

resistant’ keypad and case is impervious to dust, grit and water, and hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker 

to the commonly used keys.

Never forget your cables again. Connect the drive at the flick of a fingertip.
