Kanguru FlashTrust™

 
 

USB 3.0 Secured Firmware Flash Drive with Physical Write Protect Switch

Part Number: WP-KFT3-xG

The Kanguru FlashTrust™ firmware USB flash drive is the world’s first unencrypted, USB 3.0 flash drive with onboard, trusted secure firmware (RSA-2048 bit) to protect against any potential risk of malicious attacks like "BadUSB". The digitally-signed, trusted firmware offers consumers and organizations the same level of secure firmware protection typically reserved for encrypted, high-end flash drives to unencrypted USB device users.

Key Features:

  • Windows “Ready Boost” Compatible

  • High-Strength Aluminum Design

  • Custom Engraving Available

  • Digitally Signed Trusted Secure Firmware (RSA-2048 Bit)

  • SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Interface (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1)

  • Physical Write-Protect Switch

 

  • In August of 2014, security researchers revealed a potential threat to USB technology known as “badUSB” at a Black Hat event, arguing that any USB device including a webcam, a computer mouse, a keyboard or a flash drive from an untrusted source could potentially be tampered and manipulated by a savvy hacker that could then be used to deliver harmful malware to a computer network. Although it would be a very difficult thing to do, organizations might choose to be proactive in implementing solutions that will help alleviate this potential threat. The new Kanguru FlashTrust Secure Firmware flash drive is designed for those customers and organizations that, while still concerned about security and physical quality, may not require the specific usage scenarios or additional costs of hardware encrypted solutions.

  • The Kanguru FlashTrust is designed in compliance with NIST requirements for implementation of a digitally signed device firmware. With its RSA-2048 bit, digitally signed and secured firmware, the Kanguru FlashTrust offers consumers and organizations the same level of secure firmware protection typically reserved for encrypted, high-end flash drives to unencrypted USB device users. Any attempt at changing the customized, onboard device firmware with an unauthorized, malicious version is impossible. Furthermore, there are self-tests run at startup of the cryptographic module which handles the firmware security within the USB drive itself that ensure the integrity of the original firmware. If the self-test fails, the device will not operate.

    Please Note: FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliant physical epoxy security encapsulation may be added to Kanguru FlashTrust orders by special request.

  • This firmware USB flash drive comes with a physical write protect switch, a handy feature for Kanguru flash drives that provides ideal benefits for IT professionals and users alike. Learn more about the Kanguru Physical Write Protect Switch.
