Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 USB-A Secure Flash Drive, 16GB

The Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 USB-A Flash Drive is engineered for maximum data security, featuring robust XTS-AES 256-bit hardware encryption directly on the drive. Access is controlled via a built-in, polymer-coated alphanumeric keypad, which allows for intuitive and secure PIN entry without the need for any software, making it completely platform-independent.

Designed to offer military-grade protection, the drive is pending FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification and incorporates multiple layers of security. These include tamper-evident construction to alert the owner to physical interference, brute force attack protection, and safeguards against BadUSB attacks through digitally-signed firmware. The keypad’s special polymer coating hides fingerprint traces, preventing PIN discovery through forensic analysis.

Flexibility is central to its design, thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery. This allows the drive to be unlocked before connecting to a computer, providing seamless use across any device that supports standard USB mass storage. The Multi-PIN feature supports both Admin and User accounts; the Admin can restore a forgotten User PIN or unlock the drive if it becomes locked, ensuring you never lose access to your data.

For use in high-risk environments, the drive features Global and Session Read-Only modes. These write-protect functions prevent malicious software from altering data when the drive is plugged into untrusted systems. Performance is not compromised for security, with a SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface delivering rapid data transfer speeds of up to 145MB/s read and 115MB/s write.

Built to withstand harsh conditions, the housing is IP68 rated, making it completely dust-tight and waterproof when properly sealed. Its compact, durable form factor ensures easy portability. The drive is universally compatible, operating without dedicated software on Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and macOS.
