The SecureDrive KP has been designed to be easy to use. The drive is compatible with all operating systems and can be set up and operated without any sort of software. Everything is done using the keypad and the LED panel on the top of the device.
To unlock the SecureDrive KP, press the bottom button with the key on it, enter the User PIN and then press the key button two more times. If all goes well, the LED panel on the top will go from the red, locked icon to the green, unlocked one. Once unlocked, you will have 30 seconds to insert the drive into an available USB port. To lock it again, remove it from your computer or hold down the lock button until the red LED lights.
The SecureDrive KP can also be put into "Admin Mode." This mode is especially useful for corporate deployment and it can be used to ensure policy. From here, you can create a new User PIN, enable read-only mode and set the auto-lock clock. The Admin PIN can be also be used to override any of the User settings.
To keep people from guessing your PIN, the SecureDrive KP utilizes a brute force hack defense mechanism. If someone enters an incorrect User PIN ten consecutive times, regardless of the time intervals in-between attempts, the device’s brute force detection will trigger and the User PIN will be deleted. All data remains on the drive and can be accessed by the Admin after entering the correct Admin PIN.
The device’s brute force detection will also be triggered if someone enters an incorrect Admin PIN ten consecutive times. However, in this case, both the User and Admin PINs and the encryption key will be deleted and all data will become inaccessible and lost forever. The drive will need to be formatted before it can be reused.
