NOTE

You must enable encryption engines before you back up or restore master keys.

Master key actions are as follows:

• Create a new master key, which is enabled when no master key exists or the previous master

key has been backed up.

• Back up a master key, which is enabled any time a master key exists.

• Restore a master key, which is enabled when either no master key exists or the previous

master key has been backed up.

• System Cards, which identifies if the use of a system card is required for controlling activation

of the encryption engine.

• Authentication Cards, which identifies if one or more authentication cards must be read by a

card reader attached to a Management application PC to enable certain security-sensitive

operations.

See “Master keys” on page 540 for complete information about managing master keys.

See “Smart card usage” on page 431 for information about system cards and authentication cards.

NOTE

Encryption is not allowed until the master key has been backed up.
