Description
Data at Rest Encryption provides hardware-based, back-end encryption for EMC storage systems. Back-end encryption protects information from unauthorized access when drives are physically removed from the system. It also offers a convenient means of decommissioning all drives in the system at once.
EMC 4Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O modules implement AES-XTS 256-bit encryption on all drives in the system. These modules encrypt/decrypt data as it is written to and read from a drive. The drives need not be self-encrypting because the I/O module encrypts. All back end drive types are thus supported.
Other Algorithms
AES (Cert. #1638, key wrapping)
