Kingston’s DataTraveler BlackBox USB drives meet federal security standards

Kingston’s got a thing for über-secure flash drives, and its latest DataTraveler definitely keeps the trend alive. The waterproof BlackBox is the outfit’s first Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)-validated drive, which means that it was given the seal of approval from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Communications Security Establishment of the Government of Canada. More specifically, you’ll find “256-bit hardware-based AES encryption via a dedicated processor which automatically encrypts and decrypts data on the fly” and it’ll also enter lock down mode if you happen to forget your password ten consecutive times. Of course, Kingston’s pretty proud of this thing, so don’t be shocked when you see the $165 (2GB), $242 (4GB) and $424 (8GB) price tags, alright? Alright.
