There are 2 parts of algorithm; one is the encryption key while the other part is the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm. In order to create encrypted cipher text, the plain text is mixed with encryption key and then encryption algorithm is applied on it. The encryption key is required to decrypt the cipher text in order to make it readable. Visit our site and order high quality LTO-4 tape drives, SDLT tape drives and DAT-160 tape drives.

No matter whether the information is encrypted through a 3rd party appliance, a software process or an LTO4 tape drive, the encryption key is always required to convert the encrypted data into readable form. Loss of un-encrypted information can lead to unlimited costs and liabilities. There are numerous examples where the loss of critical data has caused heavy losses to the companies. Losing unencrypted data tapes can lead to devastating effects on the enterprises such as loss of customer’s confidence and precious information. The companies have to take necessary measures to meet the increasing regulations. Data encryption is the only best option for the businesses that can protect them from bearing heavy losses.
