Kingston Iron Key™ Keypad 200 is an OS-independent hardware-encrypted USB (Universal Serial Bus) drive with an alphanumeric keypad for easy-to-use PIN access. KP200 incorporates XTS-AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. It is also FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (pending) certified for military-grade security with enhancements that further elevate the bar for data protection. Its circuitry is covered by a layer of special epoxy that makes it virtually impossible to remove components without damaging them; this tough epoxy stops attacks against the semiconductor components. The drive is designed to be tamper evident to alert owners. It also incorporates brute force password attack protection, & Bad USB protection with digitally signed firmware. The alphanumeric keypad is coated with a layer of polymer that protects the keys & hides key usage through analysis of fingerprints on the keys. KP200 utilises a built-in rechargeable battery that can be used to unlock the drive first without using any software, & then plug it into any device that supports a USB (Universal Serial Bus) type A mass storage device. This gives users the most flexibility across different platform types & operating systems. With Multi-PIN option (Admin/ User), the keypad can be used to set up an easy-to-remember but hard-to guess alphanumeric PIN for Admin or User. Admin can restore a User PIN & provide access to the drive should the User PIN be forgotten, or if the drive is locked after reaching the maximum of 10 User login attempts. With both Admin & User PINs enabled, KP200 will lock the User PIN after 10 failed login attempts; if the Admin PIN is entered incorrectly 10 times in a row, brute force attack protection will crypto-erase the drive, destroy the data forever, & reset it. The drive also provides two levels of Read-Only (or Write-Protect) modes – a Global mode that can be set by Admin, & a session-only mode that can be set by User. Read-Only modes can protect the drive from malware on untrusted systems. In addition, Admin can load content & set Global Read-Only mode, so that User can access the data but not make any changes.
