HP Secure Encryption
HP Secure Encryption is a controller-based, enterprise-class data encryption solution that protects data at rest
on any bulk storage HDDs and SSDs attached to an HP Smart Array P731m Controller. The solution is
compatible with HP key manager products and can operate with or without the presence of a key manager
in the environment, depending on individual customer settings.
HP Secure Encryption provides encryption for data at rest as an important component for complying with
data privacy requirements found in government regulations like HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. HP Secure
Encryption secures any data deemed sensitive and requiring extra levels of protection through the
application of XTS-AES 256-bit data encryption. Many companies under government regulations require that
sensitive privacy data must be secured and uncompromised using NIST-approved algorithms and
methodologies for key management. As a result, HP has applied for FIPS-140-2 Level 2 validation for HP
Smart Array P731m Controller. For more information, see the Implementation Guidance for FIPS PUB 140-2
