Intro to Encryption and Key Management: Why, What and Where? | SNIA

Abstract

This Tutorial will explore the fundamental concepts of implementing secure enterprise storage using current technologies, and will focus on the implementation of a practical secure storage system. The high level requirements that drive the implementation of secure storage for the enterprise, including legal issues, key management, current available technologies, as well as fiscal considerations will be explored. There will also be implementation examples that will illustrate how these requirements are applied to actual system implementations.

Learning Objectives

Understand the legal issues that drive encryption requirements.
Compare and contrast the various encryption implementation schemes.
Understand the various means by which key management can be accomplished, as well as the common key management issues and implementation guidelines.
