Description The AFESG2 is a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated complete encryption system. Its software-free design allows interface to any host that supports USB and mass storage. All CSPs (PINs, encryption keys, etc.) are protected and never leave the module boundary for improved security. The device supports 1 Admin, 4 Users and offers a variety of features including forced enrollment, programmable brute force, recovery PINs, 7-16 digit PINs, auto lock, read-only modes, and is compatible with Apricorn’s Aegis Configurator. The AFESG2 is used in the Aegis Fortress, Padlock DT FIPS and Padlock SSD.
Version (Hardware) P/Ns AFESG2-1 Rev A2, AFESG2-2 Rev A2 and AFESG2-3 Rev A2

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.
