Hardware-encrypted portable storage has a persistent design bottleneck: fitting more capacity into a USB flash drive geometry while satisfying FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requirements, which impose physical and cryptographic constraints that grow harder to meet as storage density increases.
San Diego-based Apricorn says its new 4TB Aegis Secure Key 3 meets and exceeds those Level 3 requirements.
The company has formally submitted the device to the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryptographic Module Validation Program for certification.
What FIPS 140-3 Level 3 demands FIPS 140-3 is the federal standard governing cryptographic modules used across government and regulated industries.
