Frequently Asked Questions
What is FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation and why is it important?
FIPS 140-3 Level 3 is a U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules. It's crucial for organizations handling sensitive data, as it ensures the drive's encryption meets stringent security requirements, protecting against unauthorized access and supporting regulatory compliance.
Can this drive be used with any computer or mobile device?
Yes, the Kingston IronKey Keypad 200C is OS-independent and features a USB Type-C interface, making it compatible with Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, and Android devices that support USB-C connections, offering broad flexibility.
How does the PIN access work without software?
The drive has an integrated 11-key alphanumeric keypad. Users enter their PIN directly on the device before connecting it to a computer, which authenticates access at the hardware level, eliminating the need for host software or drivers.
What happens if I forget my PIN?
If a user PIN is forgotten, an administrator can unlock the drive using the admin PIN. If both user and admin PINs are lost, the drive's data cannot be recovered due to the hardware encryption, emphasizing the importance of secure PIN management.
