Resiliency
CipherTrust Transparent Encryption - Live Data Transformation is resilient to many user actions and system occurrences. Since it is designed to run periodically without intervention, it includes various features to provide this resilience.
Before CTE-LDT enables a GuardPoint, it checks for any inconsistencies in files that were undergoing rekey at the time when system operations were interrupted. If it finds any inconsistencies, CTE-LDT corrects them before it enables the GuardPoint. It should only take a few seconds to identify and correct any inconsistency. On Windows, this process is delayed until applications access the affected files.
During rekey, if an issue such as an I/O problem or system crash occurs, the resiliency features of CTE-LDT ensures the consistency of user data. Such issues can cause an interruption in the middle of a rekey operation. When system operations resume, CTE-LDT corrects the problems and then resumes rekeying.
