LTO Encryption test Details/Other test
This test checks that the encryption capabilities of the LTO-4 or LTO-5 drive is working
correctly. Data is written and read using different combinations of encryption mode, Description
decryption mode, and using both invalid and valid keys, checking for the correct
response from the drive in each case. The tape is checked at the beginning of the test
to insure that it will correctly support encryption and may therefore be used as a test
tape.
