Why choose
the security of
Aegis Padlock?
According to the Committee on National Security
Systems (CNSS) Policy Number 15, Fact Sheet
Number 1; “The design and strength of all key lengths
of the AES algorithm (i.e., 128, 192 and 256) are
sufficient to protect classified information up to the
SECRET level. TOP SECRET information will require
use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths.”

use of either the 192 or 256 key lengths.”
As well, 128 and 256 AES is sufficient for all of local,
national and International mandates for protection of

Aegis Padlock Hardware
Encryption
The Aegis Padlock offers 128 or 256 bit AES real-
time encryption with the Initio 1607 cryptographic
engine which is NIST (National Institute of Standards
and Technology) and CSE (Communications Security
Establishment) hardware AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) certified algorithm, certificate number
#1174.
It also creates a secure “Trusted Path” between
the Aegis Padlock and host computer that protects
all data on the drive. An additional security feature
includes the way the Aegis Padlock is recognized
by the operating system. Once the USB cable is
connected, the operating system sees the Aegis
Padlock as a removable device in ‘media not present’
state, so accessing the drive is not even possible.
After PIN login is completed the device is unlocked
and the operating system invokes a ‘media inserted’
event. Complete security is ensured with the data
stored in AES encryption; even if the drive is removed
the data will be completely inaccessible.
Hardware Encryption vs. Software
Encryption
Software solutions for hard drives have been available
for some time now. They have often been criticized for
being inconvenient, slow and like any other software,
prone to needing updates. In contrast, hardware
encryption is very reliable, fast and convenient. Since
hardware encrypted drives are not subject to updates,
the costs related to traditional software solutions are
eliminated. Another great advantage of hardware
encrypted drives, they can be easily reset. This
reduces the amount of time spent scrubbing the drive
or erasing disk data, which in turn stretches the IT
department budgets when redeployment of assets is
necessary.
Why choose the Aegis Padlock?
1) Access to the Aegis Padlock is protected
via a secure PIN. The Aegis Padlock drive is only
recognized by the host computer once unlocked by
via a secure PIN. The Aegis Padlock drive is only
recognized by the host computer once unlocked by
the user’s unique PIN. Up to ten different PINs can
be used, making the Padlock a secure business
collaboration tool.
be used, making the Padlock a secure business

2) The Aegis Padlock’s encrypted hard drive
seamlessly encrypts data in real-time with 128
or 256 bit AES encryption. The data on the drive
remains impenetrable, even if removed from its
enclosure, ensuring the utmost in protection for even
the most sensitive files.
