Figure 2.3. Data Recovery Manager Agent Services Page
A DRM agent performs the following tasks:
• Lists key recovery requests from end entities.
• Lists or searches for archived keys.
• Recovers private data-encryption keys.
• Authorizes and approves key recovery requests.
Key recovery requires the authorization of one or more recovery agents. The DRM administrator
designates recovery agents. Typically, several recovery agents are required to approve key recov-
ery requests in the DRM, so DRM administrators should designate more than one agent.
For more information on these tasks, see
