Performing Encryption Through VAE

By default, BDT encryption is configured to use CipherTrust Manager (CM) as its key manager, as described in Quick Start.

You can also configure BDT to use as its cryptographic server Vormetric Application Encryption (VAE) connected to a DSM security manager.

To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Open the bdt.config file, and under the crypto heading, set the cryptographic server to vae.

   Sample for vae

   "crypto": {
   "@type":"vae",  /* Specify @type field as "vae" if vae is used as cryptographic server, else skip @type field. */
   "pin":"",       /* Key manager passphrase. */
   "libPath":""    /* Path to vae library. */
   },

   Copy

2. Follow steps described in the transformation process.

Note

VAE does not support CM as the key manager.
