Encryption algorithms

Encryption in BMC AMI Copy is based on standard secret key encryption algorithms.

Copy-encryption

You can select encryption based on one of three following standard algorithms:

  • The ANSI Data Encryption Algorithm (DEA) with a 64-bit key (Data Encryption Algorithm, ANSI-X3.92.1981. American National Standards for Information Systems.)

    This is the default algorithm. This algorithm is also known as the U.S. National Institute of Science and Technology Data Encryption Standard (DES).

  • The Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) with a 128-bit key
  • The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 128-bit key (Advanced Encryption Standard, Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 197, November 26, 2001.)

BMC AMI Copy supports encryption of plaintext image copies or decryption of cipher text image copies. Plaintext or clear text is data in normal, readable form. (BMC AMI Copy standard image copies are plaintext.) Encrypted text or cipher text is data that has been converted to mask its meaning from an unauthorized recipient. BMC AMI Copy encryption involves proprietary data manipulation, in addition to the standard encryption algorithms, which is designed to make the encryption of Db2 page sets more secure.
