The Kingston IronKey Locker+ 50 USB drives offer consumer-level security with AES hardware encryption in XTS mode, including protections against BadUSB with digitally signed firmware and brute-force password attacks. The LP50 is also TAA compliant.
The LP50 now supports a multi-password option (Admin and User) with complex or passphrase modes. In complex mode, passwords of 6 to 16 characters are allowed using 3 out of 4 character sets. The new passphrase mode allows for a numeric PIN, a phrase, a word list, or text with a length of 10 to 64 characters. The administrator can enable a user password or reset the user password to recover data access.
To facilitate password entry, the "eye" icon can be activated to display the entered password, reducing typos and thus minimizing failed login attempts. The brute-force attack protection locks user passwords after 10 consecutive invalid password entries, and after 10 incorrect attempts, the USB drive is crypto-deleted. Additionally, an integrated virtual keyboard protects passwords from keyloggers or screenloggers.
The Locker+ 50 features a small metal casing and an integrated key loop for added convenience, allowing you to take your data anywhere. Additionally, the LP50 offers optional backup via USB to Cloud (by ClevX), enabling access to data on the drive from your private cloud storage.
The LP50 is easy to set up and use without any additional application installation. All necessary software and security are already on the drive. It works with both Windows and macOS, allowing users to access files from multiple systems.
