Module description

The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key is a self-authenticating and self-encrypting secure USB flash drive based on DATALOCK® technology. The Apricorn Aegis Secure Key uses full-disk hardware based AES 256 bit encryption in CBC mode. The unit is not dependent on any host software and drivers. By design it is OS/Host independent and agnostic to any operating system (Win, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Android, Symbian, etc.), computer, or embedded device that supports the standard mass storage class (USB/USB OTG).
