Kingston Technology IronKey Keypad 200 USB flash drive 32 GB USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Blue

The IKKP200/32GB is a 32GB IronKey Keypad 200 Series Hardware-Encrypted USB Flash Drive manufactured by Kingston. It features a physical alphanumeric keypad built directly onto the drive housing. This design allows users to unlock the device with a PIN before connecting it to a host terminal. It is built for government, military, healthcare, and corporate operations requiring high levels of security.

Below are the complete, comprehensive technical specifications for this 32GB model:

⚙️ Performance & Core Architecture

• Storage Capacity: 32 GB

• Host Interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (fully backwards compatible with USB 3.1 and USB 3.0 ports)

• Physical Connector: USB Type-A (Male)

• Internal Battery: Features a built-in, internal rechargeable battery (enables keypad unlocking before plugging into a machine).

• Maximum Sequential Read Speed: Up to 145 MB/s

• Maximum Sequential Write Speed: Up to 115 MB/s

• USB 2.0 Interface Performance: Restricted to a maximum of 30 MB/s Read and 20 MB/s Write

🛡️ Security, Encryption & Compliance

• Encryption Type: Hardware-based, real-time Full-Disk Encryption (FDE)

• Cryptographic Algorithm: XTS-AES 256-bit

• Security Validation: FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Validated

• Physical Tamper Protections:

  • The internal internal electronic circuitry is entirely encapsulated in a robust specialized layer of tough epoxy resin. This layer prevents physical tampering or reverse-engineering by destroying semiconductor chips if removal is attempted.

  • Keypad buttons are coated with a protective polymer layer to prevent fingerprint-wear analysis and hide frequently typed numbers.

• Cybersecurity Safeguards:

  • Brute-Force Defense: Automatically locks and crypto-erases the onboarding keys if a wrong PIN is typed 10 times consecutively.

  • BadUSB Immunity: Employs digitally signed firmware to completely block malicious firmware manipulation.

• Global Procurement Compliance: TAA Compliant (approved for United States federal government and military agency acquisition).

🔑 Authentication & Access Control

• Access Modes: Supports individual user PIN standalone operation or dual Multi-PIN (Admin and User) configuration hierarchies.

• PIN Configuration Requirements: Supports alphanumeric PIN combinations from 7 to 15 digits long.

• Administrative Override: Admins can clear an erased user profile or recover data access if a standard user forgets their personal PIN entry sequence.

• Write Protection Policies:

  • Session-Based Read-Only: Temporary protection configured for the current session to guard against malicious software on infected host computers.

  • Global Read-Only: Enforces strict, indefinite Read-Only parameters until a manual administrative reset is triggered.

🌡️ Environmental & Physical Ratings

• Ingress Protection Rating: IP68 Certified (Tested dustproof and waterproof against extended submersion in water).

• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)

• Storage Temperature Range: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)

• Dimensions (Drive with protective sleeve): 80.00 mm x 20.00 mm x 11.00 mm

• Dimensions (Drive bare profile): 78.00 mm x 18.00 mm x 8.00 mm

• Warranty Support: 3-year limited manufacturer warranty combined with free multi-lingual hardware technical support.

🖥️ OS Compatibility

• OS Independence: Operating system agnostic. Since security execution is fully resolved on the physical keypad hardware before host communication, no desktop drivers or specialized management utilities are needed. It flawlessly works with:

  • Microsoft Windows

  • Apple macOS

  • Linux distributions

  • Google Chrome OS

  • Android OS

  • Embedded medical machinery and industrial storage equipment.
