CHAPTER 3 - CONFIGURING AND USING ENCRYPTION
• Track every copy of each key. This tracking is critical in order to meet
requirements that may govern data retention and data destruction. Destroying all
exported copies of keys associated with encrypted data AND deleting the keys
from the library is sufficient to satisfy data destruction requirements, since
encrypted data cannot be accessed without the key used to encrypt it.
• Spectra Logic recommends tracking the information listed in the following table
for every key that you create. For added security, encrypt the file containing the
tracking information.
