Demo Questions
Question 1
A customer needs to exchange encrypted data cartridges with another company. A competitor offers a solution that encrypts the data with static keys loaded the
tape drives. IBM proposes IBM TS1150 tape drives using the built-in encryption feature.
Which competitive advantage does the IBM TS1150 solution provide?
- It achieves better throughput by encrypting and compressing data at the same time.
- It stores keys in the drive that can then be exported to partners in a secure format.
- It compresses the data before encrypting to achieve a better compression ratio.
- it writes a unique encrypted data key on the cartridge using public/private key pairs.
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
How the encryption key server processes encryption keys In system-managed and library-managed tape encryption, unencrypted data (clear text) is sent to the tape drive (TS1150 Tape Drive, TS1140 Tape Drive, TS1130 Tape Drive or TS1120 Tape Drive), and converted to ciphertext using a symmetric 256-bit AES Data Key (DK) generated by the encryption key server. The ciphertext is then written to tape. The encryption key server uses a single, unique Data Key for each Enterprise Tape Cartridge. This Data Key is also encrypted, or wrapped, by the encryption key server using the public key from an asymmetric Key Encrypting Key (KEK) pair. This process creates an Externally Encrypted Data Key (EEDK). The EEDK is written to the cartridge memory and to three additional places on the tape media in the cartridge. The tape cartridge now holds both the encrypted data and the means to decrypt it for anyone holding the private part of the KEK pair. The DK may also be wrapped a second time using the public key of another party to create an additional EEDK. Both EEDKs can be stored on the tape cartridge. In this way, the tape cartridge can be shipped to a business partner holding the corresponding private key. That private key would allow the DK to be unwrapped and the tape decrypted by the business partner.
