When it comes to moving data
around, while a USB flash drive is hard to beat for convenience, when
it comes to capacity, a hard drive is what gets the job done. A full
drive of data out in "the wild" should make you nervous,
and if the data is sensitive, then the Aegis Padlock Fortress is the
tool to keep it secure. This is a drive designed specifically to
keep data secure for applications including the military, government,
and healthcare.
The encryption on the Aegis
Padlock Fortress is top notch. It is FIPS 140-2 certified. To achieve this level of
certification requires that is has military grade AES-XTS 256-bit
hardware encryption. The XTS is a newer algorithm, that reportedly
uses 2 cipher keys simultaneously, to provide a greater level of security than other algorithms.
