Government certified to the HIGHEST STANDARDS

iStorage is the world’s first and only vendor to attain the following government certifications on the diskAshur PRO² and diskAshur DT² range of PIN authenticated, hardware encrypted, HDDs and SSDs: FIPS 140-2 Level 2/3, NCSC CPA, NLNCSA BSPA and NATO Restricted level.

In addition to the above certifications, iStorage’s most secure and highest capacity encrypted USB flash drive, the datAshur PRO² has been certified to: FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and the iStorage datAshur PRO has also been certified to: FIPS 140-2 Level 3, NLNCSA DEP-V and NATO Restricted level.  

The diskAshur PRO³ and diskAshur DT³ are amongst the first encrypted HDDs/SSDs pending the new FIPS 140-3 Level 3 scheme. They also provide the ultimate data protection, having recently passed the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) testing as part of the FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation scheme that the products are currently being evaluated against. The issued CAVP certificates are listed below:

• iStorage diskAshur³ cryptographic library- Certificate A5501
• iStorage diskAshur³ EC library- Certificate A5502
• iStorage diskAshur³ RNG library- Certificate A5500

The Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 is a US government computer security standard which defines the level of security and to approve cryptographic modules, with:

• Level 1 providing the lowest level of security
• Level 2 showing evidence of tampering features including tamper-evident coatings or seals.
• Level 3 – in addition to the tamper-evident physical security mechanisms required at Security Level 2, Level 3 attempts to prevent the intruder from gaining access to critical security parameters (CSPs)
