The HPE 1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit provides a libraryenhances data privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of your critical business data while supporting
compliance requirements. While there are a wide range of encryption solutions available, the HPE
1/8 G2 & MSL Encryption Kit is intended to be an easy and affordable library-enabled solution for
small businesses.
The encryption kit includes two USB key server tokens, product documentation, and firmware
support. One encryption kit is needed per library and it must be physically accessible so that the
USB token can be inserted into the automation device. The second token will be used as a backup
token, in case the first one is lost or damaged. The USB key server token will plug into the USB
port in the library and will generate and maintain encryption keys for the LTO-4 and later
generation drives. The USB key server token uses a hardware random number generator,
password authentication, and digital envelopes for strong encryption
The encryption kit provides a self-contained solution for autoloaders and MSL libraries with no
additional software, PCs, or servers required or involved.
• KMIP
To meet requirements for larger scale encryption key managers, the HPE MSL Tape Libraries
supports KMIP 1.2 compliant key managers. With the purchase of the KMIP Encryption License,
the 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader and MSL libraries will be able to request encryption keys from KMIP
1.2 compliant key managers, for data encryption and key management.

agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies
that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.
Every generation of LTO Ultrium since LTO-3 tape drives feature the ability to archive and store data
in a read-only, non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a
combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape
formatting, LTO Ultrium provides the ability to archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30
years in a secure, untampered state. Ultrium tape drives include support for both rewritable and

of data on a single data cartridge
• Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most
