The access to this data can then be done with the second smartcard and the valid PIN. The data on the hard drive will continue to be stored securely. The cryptographic keys on the smart card are irrevocably destroyed. The smart card is automatically locked and unusable as soon as the 8-digit PIN has been entered incorrectly eight times. It also encrypts all temporary files and areas that are often overlooked by encryption software.Īccess control is based on the principle of "owning and knowing": the user must have a suitable smart card and the correct PIN to access the data. The encryption module integrated in the security housing performs a complete encryption of the hard drive.Įach stored byte and sector on the drive is encrypted to 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) in CBC mode.
Security mechanisms and special features: The Digittrade HS256 ensures the confidentiality of the data through the following security mechanisms: In case of manipulation attempts of any kind, the smart card is automatically destroyed irrevocably and thus prevents access to the data. The FIPS 197 certificate confirms that this drive has a properly implemented AES 256-bit encryption algorithm in CBC mode. The encryption module of this hard drive has been tested and certified by the National Institute for Standardization and Technology of the United States of America (NIST). The data stored on the HS256 is protected from unauthorized access, for example if the hard drive is lost or stolen, as well as in the case of logical or physical attacks, in view of the confidentiality of the information. The combination of FireWire 400 (800) and USB 2.0 ports ensures fast data transfer for reading and writing.
The elegant 2.5 inch plastic housing protects against mechanical influences.
The HS256 portable high security hard drive enables data protection compliant storage, transmission and archiving of sensitive and personal data in companies.
