Kingston's Data Traveler Vault Privacy 3.0 (DTVP 3.0) USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drive provides affordable business-grade security with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption using XTS block cipher mode, which offers stronger protection than CBC & ECB modes. It protects 100 per cent of stored data & enforces complex password protection with minimum characteristics to prevent unauthorized access. For additional peace of mind, the drive locks down & reformats after 10 intrusion attempts. It also features a read-only access mode to avoid potential malware risks. Companies can add DTVP 3.0 to their standards list with complete confidence since its industry-leading NAND & controller design allow for NAND to be interchanged without prequalification & certification of security features. Plus, they no longer have to compromise transfer speeds for safety, due to DTVP 3.0's Super Speed USB3.0 technology & backwards compatibility with USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0.
