Aegis Secure Key 3Z Cryptographic Module
Apricorn, Inc. - FIPS 140 #2824
Apricorn’s Aegis Secure Key 3z is a hardware encrypted USB 3.1 memory key. Its software-free design works with any host that supports USB and mass storage compliant. Authentication is performed via the embedded keypad & all CSPs (PINs, encryption keys, etc) never leave the device boundary for improved security. The 3z supports 1 admin and 1 user, has no factory default PINs (requires Force Enrollment upon first use) and offers a variety of features including programmable brute force, recovery PINs, 7-16 digit PIN, auto lock, read only modes, and is compatible with Apricorn’s Aegis Configurator
