Data Encryption for HP StorageWorks
MSL Tape Libraries and 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloaders
Securing your data from unauthorized access
The threat to the security of personal information
caused by data getting into the wrong hands is very
real, with each incident potentially costing the
responsible organization millions of dollars to repair
the damage caused not to mention lost credibility
with their customers. However, by encrypting ‘data-at-
rest’ on tape, sensitive information can be secured
from unauthorized access either in the data center or
in off-site transit.
HP StorageWorks 1/8 G2 & MSL Tape Library LTO-4
Encryption Kit
One Encryption Kit is required for each MSL LTO-4
based Tape Library or 1/8 G2 LTO-4 Tape Autoloader
requiring encryption suport. The kit itself contains
a pair of secure USB key server tokens, and HP
recommends using one as a primary key server and
the second as a backup to be stored in a secure place.
The USB key server token will generate, store and
maintain up to 100 tape encryption keys used for
writing or restoring data on LTO-4 Ultrium tape drives.
The LTO-4 Ultrium Tape format brought with it a
revolutionary hardware-based data encryption
standard, where data is encrypted while writing to
tape, and deciphered using the approrpiate
encryption key during reading. This hardware data
encryption can be used with or without data
compression while maintaining the full speed and
capacity of the LTO-4 Ultrium Tape Drives and media.
Encrypting data using MSL Tape Libraries or 1/8 G2
Tape Autoloaders
To take advantage of the encryption capabilities of
the LTO-4 Ultrium tape drives configured in the HP
StorageWorks MSL Tape Libraries or 1/8 G2 Tape
Autoloaders, customers have a choice of solution.
1. Using an appropriate backup software
application that includes encryption support
(see www.hp.com/go/ebs and review the
EBS Compatibility Matrix for more information
on the latest software support).
2. Using the self-contained MSL Tape Library or
1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader LTO-4 Encryption Kit.

Self-contained solution
The Encryption Kit does not require any additional
software, PCs or servers; simply install it directly into
the USB port on the MSL Tape Library or 1/8 G2
Tape Autoloader.
The Encryption Kit supports your manual security
policies and procedures by providing secure storage
for encyrption keys. Access to the key server tokens
and their backup files is protected with user-specified
passwords. New processes may be required to protect
the key tokens and maintain password security.
Easy to use
Configuring and managing the Encryption Kit is
done through the Tape Library or Tape Autoloader’s
remote management interface (RMI), with easy to
follow instructions. The encryption set up is
completely independent of the backup software
application used.
Note that the Encryption Kit is not a key management
appliance. Administrators must manage association
between tape cartridges and the USB token that contains
the key used to encrypt them. To benefit from key
management and other more sophisticated encryption
capabilities requires the use of software applications.
Highly secure
The USB key server token uses hardware random
number generator, strong password authentication,
and digital envelopes for strong key and security
operations. The keys may be transferred token-to-
token or token-to-PC for backup or export with no
exposure to insecure PCs, servers or networks.
