Kingston has released the DataTraveler 5000 USB flash drive that is FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certified with Level 3 pending, and features 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption. “The DataTraveler 5000 delivers unsurpassed levels of security and encryption to government and enterprise customers,” said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, APAC Region, Kingston. “This portable data solution represents state-of-the-art data protection while providing end users with the simplicity of plug and play.” The flash drive uses XTS cipher mode and also uses elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) algorithms to meet Suite B standards approved by the U.S. government. It supports hardware-based 256-bit AES-XTS and Suite B cryptography, including ECC. Suite B algorithms were specifically selected and approved by the U.S. government and the Department of Defense for use in multinational data sharing environments including both classified and unclassified applications. FIPS 140-2 certification requires a validation process that meets federal requirements set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This is critical because many governmental agencies in the United States mandate that sensitive “data at rest” (i.e., all information not in the network) must be encrypted with the FIPS 140-2 standard. Level 2 means the DataTraveler 5000 has a tamper-evident construction which acts to notify any users if their drive has been tampered with. It also has a power-on self test that verifies the encryption mechanism is running properly each time the drive is plugged into a USB port. The drive is expected to receive a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certificate soon. The DataTraveler 5000 is available in 2, 4, 8 and 16GB capacities. It will also be available with an onboard Malware scanning application via Kingston’s extensive customization program. The drives are waterproof and carry a five-year warranty with free customer support. Pricing hasn't been released yet. |
