Embedded Silicon Data Vault
Hardware Based Data Security for
|

The Embedded Systems Silicon Data Vault (ESDV) provides Common Criteria and FIPS approved encrypted protection of data on all types of tactical systems including: ruggedised PCs, vehicle and weapon mounted computerised systems and portable data storage devices.
The ESDV is a secure hard disk drive using hardware based full disk encryption to protect data-at-rest. Touch screen, keyboard and/or USB token-based authentication is available to ensure that only authorised personnel will ever gain access to classified data.
The 2.5” (or 3.5”) SATA hard disk drive form factor ensures the ESDV retrofits into any standard mounting bay in your ruggedised laptop, portable weapon system, or vehicle mounted weapon system. Adaptors are available for fitting to 3.5” bays.
Current net-centric systems often require Commanders to order the removal of hard disk drives when under duress and needing to abandon the system. With the ESDV's full disk encryption and the Enhanced Secure Erase functionality, one click will ensure the data on the drive is secured and cannot be accessed by hostile forces. Commanders can be assured that the data stored on the ESDV will not be compromised.
