Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
iStorage FIPS 140-2 Module is a portable USB 3.1 module with real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption and super-fast data transfer. An easy-to-use keypad interface enables secure access with unique 7-15 digit PINs and software-free setup and operation. The module is platform/device independent. The GDPR compliant module has a dedicated secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), employing built-in physical protection mechanisms to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. All critical components are covered by super tough epoxy resin.
