Initial Data Encryption
After installing and configuring CTE, one of the most common procedures is to encrypt the data you want to protect. This is called initial data encryption. There are two methods for encrypting data with CTE. The first is by copying or restoring your clear data into a GuardPoint with a production/standard encryption policy. The second is by using the dataxform utility to encrypt the data in place. This chapter describes both of these methods in the following sections:
-
Using the Copy or Restore Encryption Method on Block Devices
-
Using dataxform to Encrypt Your Data with CipherTrust Manager
Before using the procedures in this chapter read Chapter 1: "Data Transformation Overview" on page 8.
