The High Grade Silicon Data Vault (HGSDV) is a hardware-based hard disk drive encryption product that can be used to reduce the classification and storage requirements of classified data at rest. Data protection is provided by the AES-128 cryptographic algorithm. To login into a laptop containing a HGSDV a user must provide two factors of authentication, a password and an appropriate CD token.

In accordance with Australian Government policy, the HGSDV has been found suitable to allow:

SECRET data to be stored and handled as SECURITY-IN-CONFIDENCE data;
CONFIDENTIAL data to be stored and handled as UNCLASSIFIED data;
RESTRICTED data to be stored and handled as UNCLASSIFIED data;
HIGHLY PROTECTED data to be stored and handled as UNCLASSIFIED data;
PROTECTED data to be stored and handled as UNCLASSIFIED data;
IN-CONFIDENCE data to be stored and handled as UNCLASSIFIED data;

when the HGSDV is not powered up.

Note: The HGSDV will not reduce the storage and handling requirements of TOP SECRET data.
