SecurTape provides software-based encryption to secure the data at rest on your NonStop backup tapes. It co-operates with the standard NonStop Tape utilities BACKUP, RESTORE and BACKCOPY, MEDIACOM and BR2, as well the TMF audit & online dump and restore software, transparently adding the encryption and decryption of the data.

Features	Benefits
Software-based solution	Lower cost alternative to hardware solutions
Support of strong ciphers	Utmost protection of your valuable data with encryption standards such as 256 bit AES/CBC
Public/private key cryptography and a key store	Maximum security for private keys; each tape has its individual bulk encryption key
Extremly fast data compression	Reduced overall CPU consumption minimizing the amount of data to encrypted or decrypted; prevents increased consumption of tape space
Parallel processing in multiple CPUs	Outstanding data throughput (in many cases even faster than standard BACKUP/RESTORE); minimal system impact
Works with existing procedures	Encryption can be added by a simple modification of the existing BACKUP command
10 minute installation	Easy to configure and manage; small footprint on NonStop server
Export keys for restoring tapes on other systems	Multiple site / multiple node solution
