Description The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3z and Apricorn Aegis Secure Key 3NX are hardware encrypted USB 3.1 memory keys.The software free design allows interface to any host that supports USB and mass storage.Authentication is performed via the embedded keypad and all critical security parameters (PINs, encryption keys, etc) never leave the device boundary for improved security. The device supports 1 administrator and 1 user and offers a variety of features including programmable brute force, recovery PINs, 7-16 digit PINs, auto lock, read only modes, and is compatible with our Aegis Configurator.

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
