Dave, If you are talking about tape encryption, there are basically 4-types;
1) Point solution (copies from one application), examples include IBM's own Encryption Facility (for DFDSS) and FDRCRYPT (for FDR) 2) Copy-tape solutions (makes an encrypted copy of a tape file that must be re-copied to de-crypt), examples include Megacrypt. 3) Software product that encrypts or decrypts any tape file as it is being accessed (CA Tape Encryption) 4) Hardware based solutions (includes TS1120 drives and Sun/STK; also includes physical "appliance" devices that sit between z/OS and the drives) Your choice would depend on what you want to encrypt and how much handling of tapes you want to go through.

A client of mine has some HIPAA and PCI-DSS requirements they're going to have to handle soon, and I need to start understanding what the options are.
