Kingston Launch its IronKey Locker+ 50 USB Flash drive

Kingston has announced the release of its new IronKey Locker+ 50 (LP50) USB Flash drive that provides consumer-grade security with AES hardware encryption in XTS mode to safeguard against BadUSB with digitally-signed firmware and Brute Force password attacks.

The Kingston IronKey Locker+ 50 offers multi-password, Admin and User, options with Complex or Passphrase modes. Complex mode allows for passwords from 6-16 characters using 3 out of 4 character sets, while new passphrase mode allows for a numeric PIN, sentence, or even a list of words from 10 to 64 characters long; along with support for international characters. To reduce failed login attempts during password entry, the “eye” symbol can be enabled to reveal what has been typed. But should a User password be forgotten; the Admin password can be used to access the data on the drive or reset the User password.

The LP50 is designed for convenience with its small metal casing and built-in key loop, along with the optional feature of USBtoCloud (by ClevX ), users can take and access their data anywhere. LP50 is easy for anyone to set up whether you use Google Drive, OneDrive (Microsoft ), Amazon Cloud Drive, Dropbox or Box for your personal cloud storage. Plus, all the software and security needed is already on the drive so no application installation is required, and it works on both Windows and macOS so users can work from multiple systems.
