iStorage datAshur® Personal2 Manual – v 2.2

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the iStorage datAshur® Personal2, an ultra secure and easy to use, hardware encrypted USB 3.0 PIN

activated ﬂash drive.

The datAshur Personal2 uses military grade AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, which encrypts all data stored on the

drive in real-time. The datAshur Personal2 requires no software and is OS and host independent.

The datAshur Personal2 incorporates a rechargeable battery allowing the user to enter a 7-15 digit PIN (Personal Identiﬁcation

Number) onto the on-board keypad before connecting the drive to a USB port.

Should the drive be lost or stolen, the user can rest assured that all data held on the datAshur Personal2 is safe and cannot be

accessed by any unauthorised person.

The datAshur Personal2 can be conﬁgured with both a User and Admin PIN, making it perfect for corporate and government

deployment. As the datAshur Personal2 is unlocked via the onboard keypad and not a host computer, it is not vulnerable to

software/hardware based key-loggers or brute force attacks.

Package contents

Note: The datAshur Personal2 rechargeable battery is not fully charged, we recommend the battery be

charged prior to ﬁrst use. Please plug in the datAshur Personal2 to a powered USB port for 60 minutes

to fully charge the battery.

Caution: The datAshur Personal2 is shipped with a default User PIN of 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4

and although it can be used straight out of the box with the default PIN, for security reasons, we

highly recommend that a new User PIN be created immediately by following instructions under

section 4 “How to change User PIN”.

If you forget your User PIN and no Admin PIN exists, or you forget both PINs, all data will be inaccessible.

following the instructions under section 4 ‘How to change the User PIN’.

Please follow the 3 simple steps in the table below to unlock the datAshur Personal2 with the default User PIN.

Examples of these types of Alphanumerical PINs are:

• For “Password” you would press the following keys:

7 (pqrs) 2 (abc) 7 (pqrs) 7 (pqrs) 9 (wxyz) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 3 (def)

• For “iStorage” you would press:

4 (ghi) 7 (pqrs) 8 (tuv) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 2 (abc) 4 (ghi) 3 (def)

Using this method, long and easy to remember PIN’s can be created.

Password Tip: You can create a memorable word, name, phrase or any other Alphanumerical PIN combination

by simply pressing the key with the corresponding letters on it.

23. How to Reset the datAshur Personal2

In the event both the Admin and User PINs have been forgotten, or the user wants to delete all data stored on the datAshur

Personal2, please follow the instructions below.

The reset process will clear all cryptographic parameters including both User and Admin PINs. This means the datAshur

Personal2 will revert back to the default User PIN set as11223344 - see section 4 on page 7 on how to change the User PIN.

Also, since this will force the creation of a new encryption key, the datAshur Personal2 will have to be reformatted (see section

25 or 26).

Caution: Resetting the datAshur Personal2 will delete all data stored on the drive.
