Key Specifications

Enterprise-Grade Security for Your Data

The Kingston IronKey 32GB Locker Plus 50 G2, FIPS 197, AES-256 features hardware-based encryption that safeguards your files against unauthorized access. The FIPS 197 certification ensures this drive meets the highest government security standards, while built-in protection defends against BadUSB attacks and brute force password attempts. If an incorrect password is entered ten times consecutively, the drive automatically locks out the user and crypto-erases itself when the admin password is compromised.

Flexible Password Protection Options

This encrypted USB drive offers both Complex and Passphrase modes for password protection. Complex mode supports 6-16 character passwords using three of four character sets, while Passphrase mode allows for more memorable options like numeric PINs, sentences, word lists, or even lyrics—ranging from 10 to 64 characters. The admin can reset user passwords to restore access, and the optional “eye” symbol reveals typed passwords to reduce login errors.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

The Kingston IronKey 32GB Locker Plus 50 G2, FIPS 197, AES-256 works seamlessly across both Windows and macOS systems without requiring any software installation. Simply plug it into any USB Type-A port on your computer running Windows 11 or macOS Ventura through Sequoia, and the built-in security software is ready to use. The metal casing includes a key loop for convenient portability.
