## Long description

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3.0 (ASK3-16GB) is a hardware-encrypted USB flash drive with 16 GB capacity, USB Type-A interface and USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) transfer speeds. Built to IP68 standards, the device provides protection against dust and prolonged water immersion while offering fast read and write performance. It features a built-in, polymer-coated keypad for PIN entry and is fully cross-platform compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Chrome and other systems with a powered USB port and file system support.
Advantages
The ASK3 uses 100% hardware-based 256-bit AES XTS encryption with on-the-fly data protection and PIN authentication via an onboard keypad, so encryption keys and PINs never leave the device boundary. The unit is epoxy-potted to resist physical tampering and its firmware is locked to mitigate firmware-level malware. The device is FIPS 140-2 validated (Level 3) for cryptographic security and physical tamper resistance, and supports independent Admin and User modes for centralized configuration and secure user access. No software is required for normal operation.
Suitable for
Transporting or storing sensitive business documents and personal data
Use in government, legal, healthcare or financial environments that require FIPS validation
Field work where water- and dust-resistant storage is needed
Organisations that need centrally configured devices and enforced user PIN enrollment

How to use
Set up the device initially in Admin mode to create an Admin PIN and configure device settings or profiles using the Aegis Configurator application when mass provisioning is required. Admins can pre-configure devices to require User Forced Enrollment so each user must create a unique User PIN before the drive is accessible. To unlock the drive, enter the PIN directly on the onboard keypad; the device remains invisible to the host until unlocked. After use, lock the drive using the keypad or remove it; all data and PINs remain encrypted while the device is at rest.
Usage recommendations
Maintain separate Admin and User PINs, choose strong unique PINs at enrollment, periodically verify device firmware and configuration with your IT policy, and use the Aegis Configurator for bulk deployments to ensure consistent settings and forced user enrollment where required.
