Users will enable encryption/decryption on the encrypting Generation 4 tape drive and provide a key. The Generation 4 specification states that LTO Generation 4 drives support the SCSI Security Protocol commands, which may be used to enable encryption, and provide a key to the drive. Some vendor implementations may enable encryption and provide a key through a proprietary channel.
