Apricorn 500 GB USB 2.0 128-bit AES Encrypted Apricorn Padlock Portable Storage DriveThe Aegis Padlock Secure Drive is the ultimate portable hard drive and secure storage system. With an easy to use keypad design and software free setup, It enables you to access the drive with your own unique pin. Featuring your choice of AES-128 or 256-bit hardware encryption, It seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.The Aegis Padlock uses a three pronged approach to protect against a Brute Force attack. The first step is to deny access to the drive until the drive can verify the user PIN. After several incorrect attempts the drive will lock itself, requiring the drive to be plugged in again to input a PIN. This feature blocks automated attempts to enter PIN numbers. Lastly, after a predetermined number of failed PIN entries, the Padlock assumes it is being attacked and will destroy the encryption key and lock itself, rendering the data useless and requiring a total reset to redeploy the Padlock. Protection against hacker attempts doesn't stop with Brute Force. Incorporated into the Aegis Padlocks electronics is Apricorns Variable Time Circuit (VTC) technology, working to thwart timing attacks aimed at accessing the drive by studying the behavior and infiltrating the Padlocks electronics.
