Data encryption

To ensure that data can be protected against unauthorized access when volumes are transported, it can be encrypted when it is saved on LTO4 drives.

Encryption is requested using the volume type:

• With TAPE-U2, TAPE-U3, TAPE-U4, TAPE-U5, TAPE-U6, TAPE-U7, TAPE-U8 the data is saved in unencrypted form.

• With TAPE-U4E, TAPE-U5E, TAPE-U6E, TAPE-U7E the data is saved in encrypted form.

High-performance encryption and decryption is performed by the MTC device.

The functions for using volume encryption in BS2000 are provided by the optional subsystem MAREN V12.0 and higher.
