Description
The IBM LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive provides AES-GCM encryption of customer data recorded to tape. Both encryption and compression are implemented in the hardware for optimum performance. Three different host interface types of the LTO Ultrium 4 "brick" unit are FIPS certified as a multi-chip, standalone cryptographic module. In customer operation the "brick" unit may be embedded in bridge box or in a canister package for operation in a library.
Approved Algorithms
AES Certs. #918 and #919
AES GCM Certs. #918 and #919, vendor affirmed
RNG Cert. #527
RSA Cert. #446
SHS Cert. #906
Other Algorithms
RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength)
