Data Protection Options

The Data Protection Options table lists data protection levels. The table also provides the option to encrypt the DNA/Self-Extracting file and the data exchanged in a real-time migration. Encryption is done using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 192 encryption algorithm.

Valid Values

Dependency

Data Protection Level for Deferred Migration

States the level of protection to use when storing user data to a DNA file.

None

Quickest

Safe

Safest

Defaults to None

 

FIPS Key Path

Provides the path of the key used to encrypt the data in the safest mode of encryption.

Valid file path

Safest mode of encryption must be selected.

Enable Encryption Key Recovery

CA DMM stores the encrypted key in the DNA file to recover the key on request.

True or False

Defaults to False

Needs a public key for the encryption of the password.

Public Key Path

Corresponding private key must be available for recovery.

Valid file path

 

Encrypt the data transferred over the network during a real-time migration

True or False

Defaults to False

 

Note: Ensure that you have entered the key path in DMM Options file when using the CA Merger and Acquisition tool. In the absence of the key path, the tool stops the migration without displaying an error message. The following error message is logged in the log file because of the unavailable key path:

Creation failed for "<DNA File Name>": No encryption key is available. A well-known encryption key was returned.
