Quantum's Encryption Key Manager (Q-EKM) is an enterprise proven, easy-to-use solution for managing encryption keys across multiple Quantum libraries. The Q-EKM centralized key manager application operates out of the data path for maximum flexibility and performance to manage the encryption keys used as part of the LTO drive-based data encryption process.

The benefits of encrypting data are countless given the potential cost and damage that a data breach of sensitive public data or proprietary corporate intellectual property might carry. Q-EKM provides an enterprise proven solution to protecting this valuable data stored on tape both inside and outside of the tape library.

Q-EKM is a Java software program that generates, protects, stores, and manages encryption keys supporting multiple libraries in a centralized keystore. These keys are used by the tape drive to encrypt information being written to, and decrypt information being read from, tape media. The encryption keys pass through the library-to-drive interface; therefore encryption is transparent to the backup applications. Q-EKM was designed to generate and communicate encryption keys over standard Ethernet based IP for IBM LTO-4 and LTO-5 drives in Quantum libraries across the customer's environment.

Supports Drive-Based Government Recommended AES 256 Bit Encryption
With the introduction of native drive-based encryption in the LTO-4 and now LTO-5 drives, administrators have a more cost-effective method to protect their data at rest. LTO Encryption is based on the AES 256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption standard, which is deemed unbreakable by the US government.

Out of The Data Path Solution for Maximum Performance and Flexibility

Q-EKM encryption occurs out of the data path, therefore it does not impact backup performance and does not require restoration in the exact system that encrypted the data. Encryption keys generated by Q-EKM are transferred to any library attached to the IP-based Q-EKM system. The benefit of Q-EKM's approach is that it is truly an enterprise class solution that does not require each individual application or library to manage the keys. This avoids the "same system" requirements for restoration, or restoring through the same setup that wrote the original tape cartridge which is cumbersome in an enterprise environment running multiple backup applications and multiple tape libraries.
