Description
The Hydra PC FIPS File Encryption Module is a multifunctional security device providing the U. S. Government's Suite B standard algorithms, including AES, ECC, and SHA-2. The Hydra PC FIPS File Encryption Module stores encrypted files on a replaceable miniSD/miniSDHC memory card for almost unlimited storage capacity. An exclusive authentication feature can limit the use of a Hydra PC FIPS File Encryption Module to a specifically designated enclave, preventing all external use even if the user knows the logon PIN. Comes with Microsoft Windows file interface.

AES Certs. #846, #850 and #858
DRBG Cert. #3
ECDSA Certs. #96 and #97
