IPX8 standard to protect against water damage to depths up to four feet.
Access control and data protection are provided via 256-bit Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) hardware-based encryption that enables
information to be encrypted and decrypted by authorized users, without the
need for special software. Performing at the top of their class with 24
MB/sec read and 10 MB/sec write speeds, the DataTraveler Secure and

Secure for Consumers and SMBs
Designed to protect sensitive data on Windows-based systems, the
Kingston DataTraveler Secure comes with MyDataZone software that lets users
apply password access control for a private data storage area on the USB
drive. If ever lost or stolen, this advanced encryption continues to
protect data in the drive's privacy zone. For ease of use and
personalization, the DataTraveler Secure includes My Traveler software to
help users manage content, set language preferences and synchronize files
with a host device.
