KEYPAD 200
Note: The KP200 rechargeable battery is not fully charged, we recommend the battery be charged prior to
first use. Please plug in the KP200 to a powered USB port for 30-60 minutes to fully charge the battery.
Thank you for purchasing the IronKey KP200, an ultra-secure and easy to use, hardware encrypted
USB 3.2 Gen 1 PIN activated flash drive.
The KP200 is designed to be FIPS 140-3 Level 3 (certification pending). This is a high-level US government
accreditation and means the product has passed numerous tests relating to the encryption algorithm and
tamper-evidence as well as to thwart attacks directed at the Critical Security Parameters.
The KP200 uses military grade AES-XTS 256-bit hardware encryption, which encrypts all data stored on the
drive in real-time. The KP200 requires no software and is OS and host independent.
The KP200 incorporates a rechargeable battery allowing the user to enter a 8-15 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 KP200 is safe and
cannot be accessed by any unauthorized person.
The KP200 can be configured with both a User and Admin PIN, making it perfect for corporate and
government deployment. As the KP200 is unlocked via the onboard keypad and not a host computer, it is
not vulnerable to software/hardware based keyloggers or brute force attacks.

•Must not contain only repetitive numbers, e.g. (3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
•Must not contain only consecutive numbers, e.g. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4), (8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
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 “IronKey1” you would press:
4 (ghi) 7 (pqrs) 6 (mno) 6 (mno) 5 (jkl) 3 (def) 9 (wxyx) and then 1
Using this method, long and easy to remember PIN’s can be created.
To create a User PIN, proceed with the following steps.
The KP200 is supplied in the ‘Initial Shipment State’ with no pre-set PIN. An 8-15 digit User PIN must be
configured before the drive can be used. Once a User PIN has been successfully configured, it will then not
be possible to revert the drive back to the ‘Initial Shipment State’.
PIN
requirements:
•Must be between 8-15 digits in length
3. How to Use the KP200 for The First Time
Note: Once the KP200 has been successfully unlocked, the Green LED will remain on and in a solid
state for 30 seconds only, during which time the KP200 needs to be connected to a powered USB port.
It can be locked down immediately (if not connected to a USB port) by pressing and holding down
the KEY button for 3 seconds, or by clicking the ‘Safely Remove Hardware/Eject’ icon within your
operating system when connected to a USB port. When the KP200 is unlocked and connected to a USB
port, it will not accept further instructions via the keypad.

20. How to Set the Timeout Lock in Admin Mode
To protect against unauthorized access in the event the KP200 is connected to a host and left unattended,
the KP200 can be set to automatically lock after a pre-set duration of time.
In its default state, the KP200 Timeout Lock feature is turned off. The Timeout Lock feature can be set to
activate (lock) an idle drive anywhere between 1 and 99 minutes. Admin Timeout Lock settings will override
User settings.
To set the Timeout Lock, please follow steps in the next table.

23. Brute Force Hacking Detection
If both Admin and User PINs have been created and a User enters an incorrect User PIN ten (10) consecutive
times, the KP200’s brute force mechanism will trigger and the User PIN will be deleted. All data will remain
on the KP200 and can only be accessed by the Admin entering the correct Admin PIN.
If Admin enters an incorrect Admin PIN ten (10) consecutive times, then both the User and Admin PINs, the
encryption key and all data will be deleted and lost forever.
The table below illustrates the different PIN set-up states and what happens when entering an incorrect Ad-
min or User PIN incorrectly ten (10) consecutive times.
