The Integral INFD16GCRYPTODL197 is a USB flash drive with a storage capacity of 16 GB, specifically designed for use in environments with heightened security requirements. The device features hardware encryption with 256-bit AES, certified according to the FIPS 197 standard. This encryption protection ensures that data stored on the drive is only accessible with a correct password, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information. The product is manufactured in a robust housing made of rubber and steel, providing high mechanical stability. The device is blue in color and features a cap form factor, where the USB connector is protected by a removable cap.

Applications
This USB flash drive is suitable for use in companies, authorities, and other organizations that need to transfer or store confidential data. Certification according to FIPS 197 makes it particularly suitable for applications in the public sector or IT security. The robust construction with shock resistance of 1000 G and vibration tolerance of 15 G allows use even under harsh conditions, such as in mobile work environments or during transportation. The operating temperature range of 0 to 70 °C and relative humidity of 20 to 90 % during operation extend the application range to indoor and outdoor applications under normal environmental conditions.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device supports the USB Type-A interface in version 2.0, enabling compatible connections with a wide range of computers and devices. The plug-and-play functionality ensures that no additional software installation is required once the device is connected. The password protection feature is an integral part of the device and is implemented through hardware encryption with 256-bit AES. The password prompt occurs upon first access to the device, ensuring automatic data protection. The user manual is included in the delivery and provides instructions for using and configuring the device.

Technology Explained Simply
The 256-bit AES encryption is a globally recognized standard for secure data encryption. Certification according to FIPS 197 means that the encryption method meets the security requirements of the US government. The hardware-based implementation ensures that encryption occurs directly within the device, without requiring data to be processed in plain text on the host computer. This increases security compared to software-based solutions, which may be vulnerable to attacks. The USB 2.0 interface enables data transfer rates sufficient for daily use, especially for transferring documents, presentations, or other file types that do not require real-time transmission.

Compatibility and Accessories
The device is compatible with a variety of operating systems. Under Windows, the following versions are supported: XP Home, XP Professional, Vista Home Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, 7 Home Premium, 7 Professional, and 7 Ultimate (all 32- and 64-bit variants). Under macOS, compatibility is provided for versions from Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah to 10.7 Lion. The plug-and-play functionality ensures that no additional driver software needs to be installed.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is performed by simply inserting the USB stick into an available USB port on the computer. The user manual included in the delivery describes the steps for setting up password protection and using the storage function. No additional tools or installation steps are required. The cap of the device protects the USB connector from dust and mechanical damage when the device is not in use.

Advantages in Operation
The Integral INFD16GCRYPTODL197 offers a combination of high security, robustness, and user-friendliness. The hardware encryption with 256-bit AES and FIPS 197 certification provides a high protection standard for sensitive data. The shock-resistant and vibration-resistant design enables use in mobile and industrial environments. The plug-and-play functionality and compatibility with various operating systems facilitate integration into existing IT infrastructures. The integrated user manual supports the user in setting up and using the device.
