Kingston DataTraveler BlackBox (DTBB), DataTraveler Secure Privacy Edition (DTSP), and DataTraveler Elite Privacy Edition (DTEP) USB flash drives use a fixed 256-bit key for obtaining access to the cleartext drive contents, which makes it easier for physically proximate attackers to read or modify data by determining and providing this key.
