IBM Corp. has released encryption technology designed to allow businesses that use its zSeries mainframes to encrypt data tapes slated to be physically transferred to partners and remote sites. The idea is to give businesses a way to guard against the risk of data compromises resulting from the theft or accidental loss of data tapes while theyre being transported. The new Encryption Services Feature for Tape Transfer takes advantage of the cryptographic capabilities available on the z/OS operating system and zSeries hardware. Partners or remote sites can then use public-key infrastructure to remotely decode the encrypted tapes.”]
