Kingston IronKey S1000 Encrypted USB Flash Drive On-Device Cryptochip and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified

Kingston IronKey™ S1000 meets the strictest standards to make it the ultimate security drive. Safeguard 100 percent of confidential data with 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption, in XTS mode, and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation with on-device Cryptochip Encryption Key management. The drive detects and responds to physical tampering and provides automatic data protection upon drive removal. For added peace of mind, the drive uses digitally-signed firmware making it immune to BadUSB. S1000 allows for two passphrase types: either a complex password or a passphrase up to 255 characters long. After ten invalid password attempts the drive locks down with the option to reformat or destroy it.
