Quantum Encryption Key
Manager (Q-EKM) 1
Quantum Encryption Key Manager (Q-EKM) is a Java software program
that generates, protects, stores, and manages encryption keys. These keys
are used by the IBM LTO-4 tape drive to encrypt information being
written to, and decrypt information being read from, tape media. Q-EKM
is installed on a server or servers. The library is configured to
communicate with these server(s). The encryption keys pass through the
library-to-drive interface, so that encryption is “transparent” to the
applications.
If you purchase Q- EKM after you purchased your library, you must
install the license key on your library to enable the Q-EKM functionality.
When you purchase Q-EKM, Quantum’s Service department will
schedule an appointment to install the application onto your server(s).
Once the application is installed, you must configure Q-EKM settings on
the library. These settings are not visible until after the license key is
installed. For instructions on configuring your library to use Q-EKM, see
Configuring Quantum Encryption Key Manager (Q-EKM)
on page 84.
