Kingston IronKeyT Keypad 200 is an operating system-independent, hardware-encrypted USB flash drive with an alphanumeric keypad for easy-to-use PIN code access.
The KP200 incorporates XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption. It's also FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (pending) certified for military-grade security with enhancements that further raise the bar for data protection. Its circuit is coated with a special epoxy layer that makes it virtually impossible to remove the components without damaging them; this tough epoxy stops attacks on semiconductor components. The reader is designed to be tamper proof to alert owners. It also incorporates Brute Force password attack protection and BadUSB protection with digitally signed firmware. The alphanumeric keyboard is covered with a layer of polymer that protects the keys and hides the use of the keys thanks to the analysis of the fingerprints on the keys.
The KP200 uses 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 Type-A mass storage device. This gives users the greatest flexibility on different types of platforms and operating systems.
With the Multi-PIN (Admin/User) option, the keypad can be used to configure an alphanumeric PIN that is easy to remember but difficult for the administrator or user to guess. The administrator can restore a user PIN and allow access to the reader if the user PIN is forgotten or if the reader is locked after reaching the maximum of 10 user login attempts. When admin and user PINs are enabled, the KP200 locks the user PIN after 10 unsuccessful login attempts; if the administrator PIN is entered incorrectly 10 times in a row, the brute force attack protection will encrypt the drive, destroy the data forever and reset it.
The drive also offers two levels of read-only (or write-protect) modes: a global mode that can be set by the administrator and a session-only mode that can be set by the user. Read-only modes can protect the drive from malware on untrusted systems. Additionally, the admin can upload content and set the Global Read-Only mode, so that the user can access the data without making any changes.
FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified (pending)
The KP200 now meets the new FIPS 140-3 Level 3 military grade security specifications published by NIST. It is an enhanced version of the FIPS 140-2 specification that further improves the security capabilities and tamper resistance of the drive. It includes XTS-AES 256-bit encryption as well as Brute Force and BadUSB attack protection with digitally signed firmware. Its circuit is coated with a special epoxy layer that makes it virtually impossible to remove the components without damaging them; this tough epoxy stops attacks on semiconductor components.
Operating system and device independent
With the KP200 using a rechargeable battery, the keypad can be used to unlock the drive without using software, then plug it into any system that supports a USB Type-A mass storage device. This gives users the greatest flexibility across different types of platforms and operating systems.
Multi-PIN option
Users have the option of configuring a User or Admin/User mode. Admin can be used to restore a user PIN and provide access to the reader if the user PIN is forgotten or if the reader is locked after reaching the maximum of 10 user login attempts.
Global and session read-only modes (write protection)
Administrator and user can set a session-based read-only mode to protect the drive from malware on untrusted systems. The administrator can also set a Global Read-Only mode which sets the drive in Read-Only mode until reset.
