CTE Agent Data Transformation

The Data Transformation document describes how to use CipherTrust Transparent Encryption (CTE) on hosts to transform GuardPoint data from clear text to encrypted text or from encrypted text to clear text.

This document is for security teams who want to rekey the existing GuardPoint data, who need to perform an initial encryption of their GuardPoint data, or who need to decrypt their GuardPoint data.

Assumptions

This document assumes that you have:

• CTE Agents installed and configured on the systems whose data you want to protect.

• Registered every installed CTE Agent with CipherTrust Manager.

• Experience creating policies on the key manager you are using.

• Root access to the protected host containing the data to be encrypted or rekeyed.
