iStorage – diskAshur DT2
The diskAshur DT2 is the world’s first and only NCSC CPA, FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NLNCSA BSPA and NATO Restricted Level certified encrypted desktop hard drive.
An easy to use ultra-secure, PIN authenticated, USB 3.1 desktop hard drive with capacities of up to 14TB and real-time AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, software free design and super-fast data transfer speeds. The diskAshur DT2 has an easy-to-use keypad design enabling you to securely access the drive with your own unique 7-15 digit PIN and with software free setup and operation, the diskAshur DT2 is platform/device independent and works across all operating systems including all versions of MS Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Thin Clients, Zero Clients and embedded systems. In fact, it will work on any device with a USB port! One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur DT2 is the dedicated hardware-based secure microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend against external tamper, bypass attacks and more. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur DT2 reacts to an automated attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms, without the PIN there’s no way in!

EDGE (Enhanced Dual Generating Encryption) Technology
Offering advanced portable data security via built-in FIPS PUB 197 validated AES 256-bit XTS hardware encryption engine. The data encryption key is randomly generated by a Common Criteria EAL4+ ready Random Number Generator and protected by FIPS validated wrapping algorithms. Uniquely featuring a dedicated onboard Common Criteria EAL4+ ready secure microprocessor to enhance security through true random number generation and built-in cryptography. The security component employs physical protection mechanisms to protect itself from any external tamper, bypass laser attacks and fault injections and incorporates active-shield violation technology. More specifically, the secure microprocessor reacts to all forms of automated hacking attempts by entering the deadlock frozen state where the device can only restart through a ‘Power On’ Reset procedure (i.e. power off/power on). The security lock feature protects the device against any unauthorised firmware modifications from the host side (fully protected against BadUSB). The diskAshur DT2 uniquely incorporates a secure microprocessor providing secure algorithms to encrypt both the data and the encryption key, giving you confidence that your data is protected to the highest standards at any given time.
FIPS PUB 197 Validated Encryption Algorithm
Employing AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, the iStorage diskAshur DT2 seamlessly encrypts all data on the drive in real-time, keeping your data safe even if the hard drive is removed from its enclosure.
Super-fast USB 3.1
With super-fast USB 3.1 data transfer speeds of 225 MBps (Read) and 223 MBps (Write), you can now access your files faster than ever before. The iStorage diskAshur DT2 is also backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.
Brute Force Hack Defence Mechanism
The iStorage diskAshur DT2 is intelligently programmed to protect against all forms of Brute Force attacks. After five consecutive incorrect PIN entries, the drive will freeze, requiring the drive to be powered off and powered back on again in order to get a further five PIN entry attempts. If a further five (10 in total) consecutive incorrect PIN attempts are entered again, the diskAshur DT2 will freeze again. To get a further and final five PIN attempts (15 in total), the “shift” button must be pressed whilst powering the diskAshur DT2 off and then powering back on before entering the iStorage preset PIN. On the fifteenth consecutive incorrect PIN entry, the diskAshur DT2 assumes it is being attacked and will delete the encryption key and lock itself, rendering all data previously stored on the drive as lost forever. At this point, the drive can be reset to factory default settings and redeployed.
Drive Reset Feature
The iStorage diskAshur DT2 also employs a useful drive reset feature, which can be implemented with a unique command. This clears all PINs and data, and creates a new randomly generated encryption key, enabling the drive to be reset and redeployed as many times as needed.
Self Destruct Feature
You can pre-program the diskAshur DT2 with your own unique Self Destruct PIN which, once implemented, instantly deletes the encryption key, all PINs, data and then creates a new encryption key.
Unattended Auto-Lock Feature
Set the unattended diskAshur DT2 to automatically lock after a pre-determined amount of time.
Tamper Proof
In addition to incorporating a secure microprocessor, encrypting the data and the encryption key, the diskAshur DT2 adds another barrier between your data and a hacker. All the components of the diskAshur DT2 are completely covered by a layer of super tough epoxy resin, which is virtually impossible to remove without causing permanent damage to the components. This barrier prevents a potential hacker from accessing the critical components and launching a variety of futile attacks.
Data at rest protection
The iStorage diskAshur DT2 also employs a useful drive reset feature, which can be implemented with a unique command. This clears all PINs and data, and creates a new randomly generated encryption key, enabling the drive to be reset and redeployed as many times as needed.
Wear Resistant Epoxy Coated Keypad
Designed with protection in mind, the diskAshur DT2 wear resistant epoxy coated keypad hides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keyshides key usage to avoid tipping off a potential hacker to commonly used keys.
