We use FDRcrypt but it does not use ICSF. We also use CopyCrypt (which does use ICSF) an OpenTech product. It's part of the VDR product.

Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 9:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ICSF Mike, I don't know the application you use to encrypt the tapes. Maybe we're confusing (misinterpret) the terms "importer key' and 'exporter key'. In ICSF these keys are used for encyphering/deciphering other keys for safe transportation. Those keys being enciphered by exporter keys are sometimes called data keys or application keys. Your backup application surely use application keys. Assuming symmetric methods the same key is used for encryption and decryption of your data. So you need to have this key in both locations. How do you transport the (application) key to remote location it is up to you. It can be on paper, in special envelope, guarded by armed guys etc. It also can be sent via e-mail, but encrypted using transport (exporter/importer) keys. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---SNIP---- ============================================================================================================================= This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.If you have received this email in error please notify the system manager.
