How is the Lexar JumpDrive SAFE S3000 password protected?
The login password is hashed before being transmitted to Lexar JumpDrive SAFE S3000, and then stored in the tamper-proof smart card. The password validation uses challenge-response process combining with zero-knowledge transfer mechanism. The authentication is performed on the smart card only; there is no way to retrieve the stored password from the smart card. Access is granted only when password has been validated by the smart card. If login attempts are exceeded, the device rejects further login attempts.
