     Feature Request Form

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.


As an addendum to the feature request, here are some crypto implementation details I wrote up regarding SD-encryption back in Jan 2008:
