Device Control Encryption Methodology

In this section:

• Encrypting Removable Storage Devices

Device Control uses a combination of encryption algorithms to protect data communications between the product components and to protect data transferred to removable storage devices and CD/DVD media. Encryption methods are combined with user access control to enforce device permission use policies.

Device Control supports several encryption methods depending upon the needs of users and the policies established for your enterprise network. Each method uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption standard. Device Control encryption can be performed centrally, by a network administrator using the Management Console, or decentrally, by a user with permitted access using the client.
