FIGURE 108 Encryption Group Properties dialog box - Security tab
The dialog box contains the following information:
• Master Key Status: Displays the status of the master key. Possible values are:
• Not used: Displays when LKM is the key vault.
• Required but not created: Displays when a master key needs to be created.
• Created but not backed up: Displays when the master key needs to be backed up. For
safety, the master key cannot be used until it is backed up.
• Created and backed up: Indicates the master key is usable.
• Master Key Actions list: Master Key actions are disabled if the master key state is not correct.
Master key actions are:
• Create a new master key: Enabled when no master key exists or the previous master key
has been backed up.
• Back up a master key: Enabled any time a master key exists.
• Restore a master key: Enabled when either no master key exists or the previous master
key has been backed up.
• System Cards: Identifies if the use of a system card is required for controlling activation of the
encryption engine. You must indicate if cards are required or not required. If a system card is
required, it must be read by the card reader on the switch.
• 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.
• Authentication Cards quorum size selector: Determines the number of registered
authentication cards needed for a quorum. The number should always be one less than the
actual number registered.
NOTE
When registering authentication cards, you must register the defined quorum size plus one.
