The DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY HDD functions with a two-factor
authentication process to avoid unauthorized access to the HDD and data
stored on it.
With this process the authorization of the user will be veried to exclude
misuse. The vercation works with two factors according to the “Having
and Knowing Method”:
Factor 1 (Having): veries if the user has a Smart Card with the correct
AES key. This vercation takes place by inserting the Smart Card into the
HDD enclosure. Two Smart Cards are included in delivery.
Factor 2 (Knowing): veries if the user knows the correct 8-digit PIN and
consequently is authorized to use this Smart Card. This vercation takes
place by the PIN entry. After activating the DIGITTRADE HIGH SECURITY
HDD successfully it needs to be unblocked for use.
Therefore insert the Smart Card into the Smart Card Slot in direction of
arrow.
If a valid Smart Card is inserted, the “STATUS” ashes once. Afterwards
the keypad is lighted and ready for PIN entry.
If an invalid Smart Card is inserted the “ERROR” LED ashes.
