Encrypt the Data

The encryption process is as follows:

  1. Encryption is turned on by the SPOOLENC=YES/nnn startup parameter.
  2. When CA Spool collects reports, it encrypts report data when written to disk if the SPOOLENC=YES/nnn parameter is specified.
  3. Depending on your hardware, encryption is done using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit or 256-bit keys.

Note: If you activate the PCI encryption option, all data written to disk and tapes become unreadable. Thus if a tape gets lost, it is not readable.
