PSecureD has been awarded the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4, augmented with AVA_VLA.3. This augmentation implies that, in addition to evaluation for EAL4, SecureD® has been analyzed for vulnerabilities by the National Security Agency. Pensacola, FL, November, 2006 – SecureD® has been awarded the Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4, augmented with AVA_VLA.3. This augmentation implies that, in addition to evaluation for EAL4, SecureD® has been analyzed for vulnerabilities by the National Security Agency.

SecureD® products are user friendly, Operating System independent, 100% hardware implementations of full disk encryption from High Density Devices (HDD). This certification along with the previously attained FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification makes it the most secure full disk encryption product commercially available on the market for “data at rest”.


Commercialization of SecureD® products has been supported by the Office of the Secretary of Defense through a program, known as Common Information Centric Security (CICS), managed by SPAWAR Systems Center in Charleston, SC.


“Achieving EAL-4+ certification for SecureD® is another milestone in a list of accomplishments made by the CICS team”, says Stein Aamot, President of HDD. “This certification will add a higher level of confidence for our users that SecureD® is the right technology for protecting their sensitive data storage.”


The SecureD® product line includes products for laptops, desktops and mobile data requirements and comes in Serial ATA (S-ATA), Parallel ATA (P-ATA), and external USB drive configurations. Security for the devices is controlled by a Key Token implementation, which is created and governed by an available Key Management System (KMS). The KMS implementation provides flexibility in the use of Key Tokens for a wide variety of requirements. Pricing for the individual products vary based upon the capacity and configuration.
