Chapter6 Encryption Key Management Function 6.1 General Information This chapter introduces the main features of the encryption key management function. 6.1.1 Features of Encryption Key Management Option ・Enables you to easily build a secure backup system without relying on OS or backup software. ・The device administrator can ensure security by himself/herself without going through the backup operator because each encryption key is set to a tape device from the Web browser terminal.
6.1.3.1 Master Key You must always set the master key when using this encryption management function. The master key has the following two roles: (1) Used when multiple Libraries share tape medium. (2) Used to automatically generate encryption keys for each tape media. 1.
6.1.3.2 Encryption Key Encryption keys can be set on each tape medium. Set these keys only to necessary tape medium. If you use the master key to share tape medium, it is not possible to share only some tape medium because all the tape medium automatically generated using the master key are shared.
6.2 Basic Operation of encryption key management function This chapter describes the most basic operations under the conditions below. If you want to perform operations under other conditions, make sure that you fully understand the description in this chapter, and then go to “Advanced Operations” . [Conditions] Item Condition...
6.2.1.1 Registering the activation key You can use the encryption key management function by registering the activation key described in the license sheet. To register the activation key, see 5.6.5.10. Make sure that no tape media is inserted in the tape drive before registering the license key.
6.2.1.3 Enabling the encryption key management function You must enable the encryption key management function to use it. After enabling encryption, register the master key if it is not yet registered. (See 6.2.1.4 Registering (importing) the master key .) If the master key is already registered, click “Submit”. Figure 6-3 Encryption Enable Figure 6-4 Master key is registered -130-...
6.2.1.4 Registering (importing) the master key Once you enable the encryption key management function, you can enter the master key. The master key can be entered manually or by using a file. ・The master key is the most important information for this encryption key management function.
2. Entering the master key file Select [Master Key Import] of [Encryption Basis], and then select “Key File” for Import Type. Next, enter the master key file and password, and then click “Submit”. Use the password you entered when exporting the master key. Be careful because the master key cannot be imported if you forget that password.
6.2.1.5 Exporting (backing up) the master key It is recommended to export and save (back up) the master key in a file after setting it so that you can use it in the case of a device failure or other problem. Note that it might become impossible to decrypt encrypted data if the master key is lost.
6.2.2 Operation 6.2.2.1 To Create encrypted medium You can create and read encrypted tape medium without considering higher applications such as backup software by using the tape medium for which “Encryption” is specified in [Encryption Detail]. Use the initial settings, in which “Encryption” is specified for all tape media. (The cleaning cartridge becomes disable automatically.) (Remark) You can see the encryption setting status of each slot from the Encryption Detail Setting screen.
6.2.3 Checking tape media Information You can display information about the encryption of a specified slot by displaying Slot Information from [Library Map].See section 5.6.3.2. 6.2.3.1 Sharing tape medium among multiple libraries If you set the same master key to different Libraries, they can share tape medium. Using one master key, you can share tape medium for which encryption keys were automatically generated from the master key.
6.2.4.2 Executing Set Default When you execute “Set Default” from the Library’s operation panel, the settings for the Library and all registered encryption information (such as the master key) are cleared. When you execute “Set Default”, encryption information is cleared. If you do not back up encryption information before executing “Set Default”...

6.3.1 Enabling or Disableing Enctyption for Each tape medium You can enable or disable encryption for each tape media. (All slots are encrypted by default.) You can check the setting for each tape media in [Encryption Detail]. The tape medium stored in a purple slot in the figure below is Enable Encryption, and a tape medium to which Key Type is set with Auto.
6.3.1.1 Setting tape medium encryption To change the encryption setting for a tape medium, change the setting for “Encryption”, and then click “Submit”. Although tape medium can contain encrypted data and plain text data at the same time, it is not possible to determine which data is encrypted. Therefore, be sure to use single encryption setting for each tape media.
6.3.1.2 Sharing tape medium among multiple libraries (advanced) Multiple Libraries can share tape medium by using either of the following two methods: 1. Sharing on a library basis (Register the same master key.) 2. Sharing on a tape basis (Register an encryption key for each tape medium.) This chapter describes how to register an encryption key for each tape medium.
6.3.2.1 When to import the encryption key Import the encryption keys when the encryption setting is newly set to "Import" for the cartridge. The Library does not keep on store the encryption key for the tape media without bar code label after exporting the key, even if the Library used the same tape media in the past.
Please pay careful attention when inputting the key. An incorrectly input encryption key might be used for encryption. (Remark) What is a key ID? A key ID is used to write specific information that corresponds to the encryption key into the tape media.
6.3.2.3 To export an encryption key After selecting the exporting cartridge from Encryption Detail, the encryption key selects Export Type. When Encrypted is selected, it is possible to export by inputting the password and Confirm, and pressing Export. (Export is pressed as it is for Plain data. )The password set at this time is needed at import.
6.3.3 Disabling the Encryption Management Function for the Library You need to disable encryption for the Library when, for example, performing encryption using backup software. Select “Disable” for “Encryption” in [Encryption Basis], and then click “Submit”. Figure 6-14 Disabling the Encryption Management Function When Encryption management function is disabled, the setting of an individual tape medium becomes invalid, too.
6.3.4 Changing the Master Key You can overwrite the master key by selecting the “Overwrite Master Key” checkbox in [Encryption Basis] (under [Setting]). The setting procedure after selecting the checkbox is the same as when you set the master key for the first time.
6.3.5.1 Backing up the KEY database When the password and Confirm (the same content as the password) are input to Backup Key Database of Maintenance of Encryption Detail and "Backup" is pressed, the save screen is displayed. The file preservation place is specified, and it saves a file. Figure 6-17 Backup of KEY Database 6.3.5.2 Restoring the KEY database The password of the backup of Key File and Key Database with Restore Key Database of...
6.3.6 Clearing encryption information You can clear encryption information in this Library, for example, when you dispose of the Library. Once you clear the encryption information, the data can no longer be read from previously encrypted tape medium. Be sure to back up the encryption information (the KEY database) before clearing it.
