IronKey Technology- Rugged Design

An IronKey drive is an investment that will last for years. Ruggedized and waterproof to military specifications, its metal casing protects internal components against physical damage, shock, the elements, and tampering. The casing is filled with an epoxy-based potting compound to seal all components against moisture and tampering. This combination also prevents the drive from being crushed, even under extremely high pressure. The result is a virtually unbreakable digital strongbox for storing your most private information, passwords, and files.

Sealed and Tamper-Resistant

Self-defending IronKey devices are designed to protect themselves from physical attacks—even by a determined and sophisticated hacker. A tough epoxy compound surrounds and completely encases the chips and circuitry. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to remove the memory in an attempt to access the data by removing the chips and placing them on another device. Any such attempt would cause permanent damage to the chips, rendering the stored data unreadable.

IronKey devices also employ tamper-reaction technology in their firmware. The Cryptochip defends itself against power analysis, temperature, and probing attacks. It will self-destruct by erasing the data and keys when it detects any of these types of attacks.

Electromagnetically Shielded

In addition to the epoxy potting compound, IronKey devices are protected by thin-film metal shielding around the onboard memory. This electromagnetic shielding provides another layer of defense against tampering by protecting against invasive attacks such as electronic scanning of the memory contents.

Waterproof

IronKey devices have passed—and exceeded—military waterproof standards (MIL-STD-810F). IronKey devices are built to ensure your data survives the toughest use; they can survive everything from wet field conditions to a trip through the washing machine.
