I hosted a SNUG meeting in October on the topic of LTO4 Encryption. HP claims
to do it at speed because compression is done before encryption. No space or
speed overhead. I haven't tried it personally yet.
However, as many have mentioned, the real trick is key management. As of
October, ALL
e box key management and encryption via LTO4s.

The big catch is that the "drive" supports encryption, but you have to have
something to make it encrypt. If you have an IBM 3584 library, then you can
upgrade the firmware AND use an IBM software package to do key management for
encryption.
Just because you have an LTO-4 drive does not mean t
I'm researching the purchase of a new library with LTO generation 4 tape
drives and am interested in using the on-drive encryption to encrypt my
backup tapes so that if a box of tapes ever falls off of the Iron
Mountain truck I'm not having to explain things to the board of
