Kingston Digital has released a new secure USB which stuffs the drive with more secure componants than you can poke a stick at.

The Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 (KP200) is apparetnly designed for consumer data, although the sort of person who wants this level of protection might either be a regular wearer of a tin foil hat or be attempting to run a crack lab in their basement.

The KP200 features FIPS 140-3 Level 3 security which is currently the highest security standard used to accredit cryptographic modules, replacing FIPS 140-2.

It offers XTS-AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption as part of a "feature-rich" and operating system-independent alphanumeric keypad.

The KP200 also incorporates a built-in rechargeable battery, so users can unlock the drive using the keypad for PIN access, without using the accompanying software. Users can access their data by plugging the drive into any device that supports USB Type-A Flash storage.
