The iStorage datAshur SD is a PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted USB type-C flash drive designed to incorporate removable iStorage microSD cards with capacities ranging from 32GB-1TB. Instead of incorporating fixed memory, the datAshur SD is designed with an integrated microSD card slot, making it a unique, ultra-secure and cost-effective solution that allows users to use a drive with as many iStorage microSD cards as needed, which are available in different capacities, offering unlimited encrypted data storage. In addition, the patented iStorage datAshur SD KeyWriter software clones datAshur SD flash drives with the same encrypted encryption key that allows a secondary drive as backup and also allows organizations to share encrypted microSD cards with as many authorized users of cloned datAshur SD drives as needed, without compromising data security.
All data stored on the microSD cards are encrypted (full disk encryption) using the 256-bit AES-XTS hardware encryption validated by FIPS PUB 197. In addition to the datAshur PRO2, the datAshur SD is the world's only encrypted USB flash drive that incorporates a secure Common Criteria EAL 5+ certified microprocessor, which enhances security through true random number generation and built-in cryptography. The data encryption key is protected by FIPS and Common Criteria validated packaging algorithms and is securely stored in the secure microprocessor, separate from the data.
