Module description
Kingston's ultra-secure DataTraveler 6000 USB Flash drive protects sensitive data with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation and 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption in XTS mode. Secured by SPYRUS, DT6000 uses elliptic curve cryptography encryption algorithms (ECC) that meet the Suite B standards approved by the U.S. government. The drive features complex password protection and locks down after 10 intrusion attempts.
