Excluding Files or Directories from Rekey

When you add a resource set to a key rule in a policy, you can select the Exclude Rule option. This informs CipherTrust Manager that the directories and/or files in the resource set use the define key that is excluded from the LDT rekey process. If you specify clear_key for the key rule, then the directories and/or files in the resource set will be left unencrypted. Otherwise, you can select any non-versioned key to apply to those directories and/or files.
