USB kľúč Apricorn 64GB USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 Aegis Secure Key 3z

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3z 64GB is a hardware-encrypted USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) flash drive with an integrated alphanumeric keypad and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation. It provides on-the-fly 256-bit AES XTS encryption, software-free operation, and cross-platform compatibility. The device uses a rechargeable battery to allow PIN entry before connecting to the host and features a rugged, IP57-rated aluminum housing with epoxy-sealed internal components for physical tamper resistance. Read and write performance is typical of USB 3.2 Gen 1 drives, and the drive connects via a USB Type-A interface.

Advantages

The Aegis Secure Key 3z combines hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encryption with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation, preventing software-based key logging by enabling PIN entry on the onboard keypad prior to USB connection. It supports independent User and Admin PINs, user-forced enrollment, one-time recovery PINs, a drive reset that destroys encryption keys and data, programmable brute-force self-destruct after consecutive incorrect PIN attempts, unattended auto-lock on removal or inactivity, and two read-only modes including an admin-enforced read-only state. Its sealed epoxy coating and crush-resistant aluminum body increase resistance to physical attacks and environmental exposure.

Suitable for

• Secure transport and storage of sensitive files on laptops and desktops
• Corporate and government deployments requiring admin/user PIN separation and FIPS validation
• Field use and travel where dust-, water- and crush-resistance are needed
• Situations requiring tamper-evident or forensic-safe read-only access

How to use

Before connecting the drive to a computer or mobile host, enter your 7–16 digit User PIN on the integrated keypad and unlock the device. If the drive requires admin configuration, an administrator can set Admin and User PINs, enable user-forced enrollment, or program recovery PINs using the onboard keypad or with the Aegis Configurator bundle for mass provisioning. When unlocked, plug the drive into a USB Type-A port to access files; the device will auto-lock when unplugged or after a programmed inactivity timeout. To permanently clear the drive and generate a new encryption key, use the drive reset feature which destroys stored data and resets PINs.

Recommendations

For managed deployments, use the Aegis Configurator and Powered Hub to create custom profiles and mass-configure multiple Secure Key 3z units. Maintain separate Admin and User PIN policies, provision recovery PINs where needed, and store at least one Admin recovery credential securely. Regularly verify firmware and administrative configuration procedures per organizational security policy.
