Module Name
IBM® Corporation LTO Generation 7 and Generation 8 Encrypting Tape Drive
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
Security Level Exceptions
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The IBM® Corporation LTO Generation 7 and Generation 8 Encrypting Tape Drive provides AES-GCM encryption of customer data recorded to tape. Both encryption and compression are implemented in the hardware for optimum performance. Six different host interface types of the LTO Generation 7 "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.
