Item n:   Storage Daemon based encryption
  Origin: Steve Polyack <korvus at comcast dot net>
  Date:   16 February 2009
  Status: new

  What:   The ability to encrypt and decrypt data that moves between the 
storage daemon and its storage devices.

  Why:    Storage daemon based encryption could simplify the encryption of data 
in an environment where the links between SDs and FDs are local and trusted.
          Job data could be protected as it is written to tape, DVD, or other 
media which may be used for off-site storage.

  Notes:  * Environments with many backup clients would not have to maintain 
secure and safe storage of many keys
          * This adds the ability to migrate existing tapes to an encrypted 
format; read the plaintext tape to disk, write the data back out encrypted to 
            another tape.
