15. Brute Force Hacking Detection

After 10 consecutive failed attempts to unlock the drive, all cryptographic parameters are zeroed
including

User and Admin PIN. In this state, a New User PIN must be defined which will cause a

new encryption key to be generated.

All previously stored data is no longer accessible and the drive will require formatting.

USB drives are equipped with a 10 second delay in order to

accommodate power cycling during a host boot process. No special actions are required on the part
of the user. In order to use this feature, simply unlock the drive and connect to the USB port of a
host computer. Turn on host power.

Under certain conditions, the drive may take 10 seconds to lock. For example, putting the host
computer into standby mode and leaving the drive connected. To force an immediate lock, always
unplug to remove USB power to the drive.
