1.5 FIPS 140-2 Certified Drives

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. government computer

security standard used to accredit cryptographic modules.

• The Defender Elite200 and Elite300 have been certified for FIPS 140-2 Security Level 2

○ Security Level 2 improves upon the physical security mechanisms of the cryptographic module

by requiring features that show evidence of tampering, including tamper-evident coatings or

seals that must be broken to attain physical access to the plaintext cryptographic keys and

critical security parameters within the module.

• The Defender 2000 and Defender 3000 have been certified for FIPS 140-2 Security Level 3

○ In addition to the tamper-evident physical security mechanisms required at Security Level

2, Security Level 3 attempts to prevent an intruder from gaining access to critical security

parameters held within the cryptographic module. Physical security mechanisms required at

Security Level 3 have a high probability of detecting and responding to attempts at physical

access, use or modification of the cryptographic module.

1.6 Common Criteria Certified Drives

Common Criteria provides an international set of guidelines for evaluating data security products,

ensuring that they meet strict, security standards for government deployments. Several specific Defender

flash drives have been Common Criteria certified. For more information please refer to Appendix A -

Common Criteria Certified Versions on page 51

1.7 The Write Protect Switch

Kanguru Defender Elite30, Elite200 and Elite300 flash drives have a physical write protect switch

located on the edge of the drive, near the USB connector:

• Unlocked - Push the write protect switch towards the USB connector side of the device to set it in

the unlocked position. When the write protect switch is set in the unlock position, the device will

function normally.

• Locked - Push the write protect switch towards the LED side of the device to set it in the locked

position. When set in the lock position, the write protect switch will prevent data from being written

to the device’s secure partition.

Important! For devices with a physical write protect switch, the write protect switch must be set in the

intended functioning position (i.e. locked or unlocked) prior to connecting the drive to the computer.

WARNING! You may receive an error if you attempt to setup or login to your device while the write

protect switch is set in the locked position. Please check and make sure that the write protect switch is

set in the unlocked position. It is highly recommended to go through the setup wizard, login and mount

the device’s secure partition before setting the write protect switch to the locked position.

Note: The Defender 2000 and Defender 3000 flash drives use software based write protection and do not

have a physical switch. To enable the software write protection on a Defender 2000 or Defender 3000,

please refer to section 2.3.2 Enabling Software Write Protection (Defender 2000 and 3000 only) on page

20.

2.4.1 Encrypting Files and Folders

A key feature of the Defender flash drive is drag & drop encryption; allowing you to simply drag files

that you want encrypt directly onto the drive. The Defender flash drive automatically encrypts these files

as they are transferred to the secure partition, ensuring that your data stays safe and private.

2. Login to KDM to gain access to the secure partition.

3. Click on the KDM icon located in the task bar and then select ‘Explore Security Drive’ from

the popup menu.

The secure partition appears in a new window. We recommend using either the drag & drop action, right-

click copy/paste action, or the shortcut keys (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V) to copy and paste files and folders

directly to and from the secure partition.

Note: Data saved on the Defender’s secure partition are only accessible after you have successfully

logged into KDM.

2.4.2 Enabling On-board Antivirus (Windows only)

Defender flash drives support on-board, antivirus functionality. The onboard anti-virus feature is a

subscription based service and requires a license key. If you do not have a license key you can either

contact Kanguru to purchase an antivirus license, or you can fill out the antivirus activation form during

the Setup Wizard to obtain a 30-day free trial license (see section 2.2.2 Activating On-board Antivirus

Protection (Windows only) on page 14).

Once your on-board antivirus has been activated, real-time virus scanning is automatically enabled

whenever you log into your device. All files copied to the Defender are scanned for viruses and malware.

Real-time scanning is enabled once all virus definitions have been downloaded.

Note: Updates for the latest the virus definitions are downloaded automatically when the device is

connected to a computer with internet access. If you disconnect your Defender before the latest update

has finished downloading, the Defender will save your place and continue the download the next time it

is connected to a computer with internet access.

Virus definitions are stored in the ‘System’ folder on the secure partition. If these files are deleted, they

will be automatically re-downloaded. If the device is reset to the factory default, these files will be

deleted and will need to be re-downloaded.

Caution! Do not store any data in the ‘System’ folder. Any data saved here that does not pertain to virus

definitions will be automatically deleted.

The KDM Taskbar Menu

3. Updating Your Defender Flash Drive

Updates for your Defender flash drive’s client application may be released from time to time. To view

the version of the KDM client application currently running on your drive, see section 2.6 About KDM

on page 39.

Please check whether your Defender flash drive is being managed by Kanguru Remote Management

Console (KRMC), as the update process is different for enterprise edition and standard edition drives.

3.1 Updating standard edition drives

Standard edition Defender flash drives will automatically check the Kanguru Central Server (KCS) for

client updates. Once you have successfully logged into your Defender flash drive’s secure partition,

KDM will check KCS for any available client updates. If an update is available, you will receive a pop-

up notification with instructions for downloading the updater file. If you refuse the update, you will not

be prompted to update again until the next version updater is released.

Note: The drive will only check KCS for updates if it is connected to a computer with internet access.

To manually check if there is a KDM update available for your device, click on the KDM icon

located in the task bar and then click on Check for Client Updates.

If a newer client version is available for your device, follow the on-screen instructions to download and

apply the update.

Standard edition Defender flash drive users can also manually search and download available client

updaters from the Kanguru Support site. Defender flash drive client updaters can be found under the

‘USB Client Software Updates’ forum in the ‘Software Downloads and Updaters’ section (support.

kanguru.com).

Updating Your Defender Flash Drive

3.2 Updating KRMC enterprise edition drives

Enterprise edition Defender flash drives are managed by the Kanguru Remote Management Console

(KRMC). Updaters for enterprise edition Defender flash drives are available for download from the

Kanguru Support site. The KRMC system administrator is granted access to the enterprise edition

downloads when their KRMC order is processed. Enterprise edition updaters can be found under the

‘KRMC Enterprise’ forum in the ‘Software Downloads and Updaters’ section (support.kanguru.com).

Note: Only KRMC administrators are given access to download the enterprise edition updaters.

Once you have downloaded your enterprise edition updater, you can create an ‘Upgrade Client

Application’ action in KRMC to deploy the update to all of your managed drives remotely.

3.3 Verifying the download checksum

To verify the integrity of the KDM updater that you downloaded, please use the SHA256 Checksum

tool. The SHA256 Checksum tool will generate a 64-character checksum which can be verified against

the checksum list published by Kanguru Solutions. This ensures that the updater file was downloaded

correctly and wasn’t altered.

The SHA256 Checksum tool and a list of valid checksum values can be found on Kanguru’s Support

site: https://kanguru.zendesk.com/entries/21747773-sha256-checksum-utility

To view and verify your download’s checksum:

1. Download the SHA256 Checksum tool from the Kanguru Solutions’ support site.

2. Save the SHA256 Checksum tool to the same directory that KDM updater file is saved in.

3. Open a command prompt window by clicking on Start → All Programs → Accessories →

Command Prompt.

4. Within the command prompt window, navigate to the directory containing your KDM updater file

and the SHA256 Checksum tool.

5. Type “sha256.exe <filename.exe>”, where <filename.exe> is the name of the updater file that you

are checking.

6. Press the Enter key. A 64-character string appears. This is the SHA256 checksum of the updater.

7. Verify that the checksum generated by the SHA256 Checksum tool matches the checksum published

by Kanguru Solutions for your updater version.

If the checksum generated by the SHA256 Checksum tool matches the checksum published, then your

updater downloaded correctly. If the checksum generated does not match the checksum published by

Kanguru Solutions, please delete the updater from your computer and download it again.

Appendix A - Common Criteria Certified Versions

The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, referred to more commonly

as Common Criteria, is an international standard for computer security. Common Criteria provides

an international set of guidelines for evaluating data security products, ensuring that they meet strict,

security standards for government deployments.

• Defender 2000 with the following specifications has been certified by Common Criteria:

○ Client software version : 1.2.1.8

○ Firmware version : 02.03.10

• Defender Elite200 with the following specifications has been certified by Common Criteria:

○ Client software version : 2.0.0.0

○ Firmware version : 02.03.10

Important! Defenders running these specific client software and firmware versions have been certified

by Common Criteria. If you update the client software version to a newer version, your device will no

longer be Common Criteria certified.

The Defender’s firmware version is specific to the device’s hardware. The firmware version is not

accessible to the user. You are not able to view, update or modify the firmware version on your Defender

in any way.

Updates to the Kanguru Defender Manager client software are released by Kanguru Solutions regularly.

To prevent you from accidentally updating your device to a non-Common Criteria certified client version,

the client application’s auto-update feature has been disabled on Common Criteria certified Defenders.

For more information about updating your Defender’s client software version, please see Chapter 3.

Updating Your Defender Flash Drive on page 41.
