kingston has launched its new IronKey Vault Privacy 50 USB drive featuring XTS-AES 256-bit encryption other FIPS 197 certification. The IronKey Vault Privacy 50 supports Admin, User, and One-Time Recovery passwords with Complex or Passphrase modes. The IronKey Vault Privacy 50 USB drive is available in capacities from 8 – 256GB capacity and is backed by a limited five-year warranty, with free technical support.
“This multi-password option enhances the ability to recover access to data on the drive should one of the passwords be forgotten. While traditional Complex mode allows for passwords from 6-16 characters using 3 out of 4 character sets, the new passphrase mode gives users the ability to have a numeric PIN, sentence, list of words, or even lyrics from 10 to 64 characters long that’s unique, yet memorable to them. To aid in password entry, the “eye” symbol can be enabled to reveal the typed-in password to reduce failed login attempts.”
