The Original Secure USB Flash Drive

The A-Key® 4000 token is the original secure USB flash drive. Hardware-level encryption, password and brute force protection ensure that any information stored on this secure USB flash drive is safe from intrusion, loss and theft of the token itself. And because they are driverless, A-Key® 4000 tokens can be taken and used anywhere.

A-Key® 4000 tokens are as versatile as they are secure. A-Key® 4000 tokens can be used as is, or they can come with pre-installed software that enables users to securely store digital certificates on the token and use them anywhere and to securely store Web logon credentials and automatically log in to Web sites without having to touch a computer keyboard.

Totally Secure Flash Drive Mobility
The A-Key® 4000 token is small enough to fit on a key ring, yet strong enough to protect your mobile data every where you go. No software installation: just plug it in and it works.

Secure Flash Drive Encryption
All files saved on the A-Key® 4000 token are encrypted on the fly using encryption functionality built into the secure USB flash drive's hardware. No encryption application is installed on the drive that can be altered or erased.

Secure Flash Drive Privacy
The folder in which you store your data is not recognized by the computer unless you log in correctly. Without your user name and password, no one can know if you even have data on the drive.

Peace of Mind Against Loss or Theft
If someone tries to log in and fails a configurable number of times, this secure USB flash drive will automatically erase all user data and restore its factory default settings. This functionality is also built into hardware. It is not an application on the drive: it cannot be altered or erased.

Secure Flash Drive Administrative Management
The A-Key® 4000 token contains the A-Key® Administrator Tool, through which your can control A-Key® 4000 token secure USB flash drive features.

• Two Levels of Secure Flash Drive Password Protection: User and Admin
  Assigning both levels of password protection enables administrators to lock down the administrative features of the token, while allowing users to be able to add and delete data and access any applications installed on the token.

• A-Key® Token Lock and Self Erase Flash Drive Security
  Assigning passwords enables administrators to have finer control over brute force protection settings on their secure USB flash drives.

  • If an administrator password has not been assigned and anyone tries to log on and fails the defined number of times, the A-Key token secure USB flash drive will erase all user data it contains.
  • If an administrator password has been assigned and anyone tries to log on and fails a defined number of times, the A-Key token will lock and become unusable until an administrator unlocks it. All user data on the secure USB flash drive is still intact, and accessible with administrative login.

• Erasing/Formatting An A-Key® Token Secure Flash Drive
  A-Key token administrators and users can erase data on their secure USB flash drives in two ways:

  • Erase the secure USB flash drive and restore it to its original condition, which makes it ready for its next assignment.
  • Only erase files you have added: not Authenex applications and related data (such as certificates, login accounts, etc.).
