Hi everyone.

For those who don't remember this discussion a few months ago here is some
update.

A few months ago we had a chance to offer TSM to one of the largest company
here. Soon it became obvious that security where a large concern to them.
They asked a lot of Encryption questions witch we couldn't answer right
away. So there where some long and helpful discussions about this issue here
on adsm.org.

we gave them the information they wanted and they agreed to take TSM as
there Backup system.

I would like to thank you who answered the pervious posts, a lot of our
success and win are because of your help and ideas.


Now the implementation is well on it's way.

The Security team has been reading up on the security issue in TSM, they
have found that the 56 bit DES encryption protocol isn't good enough for
them.  They want to have 3 DES or AES.

They are willing to implement it them self to TSM if Tivoli will let them.

I have one question for you geniuses out there.

Are there any others who need this kind of security out there?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated
