Encryption Center features

The Encryption Center dialog box is the single launching point for all encryption-related
configuration in the Management application. (Refer to

Figure 376

.) It also provides a table that

shows the general status of all encryption-related hardware and functions at a glance. To open the
dialog box, select Configure > Encryption.

Beginning with Fabric OS 6.4, the Encryption Center is dynamically updated to reflect the latest
changes based on any of the following events:

Encryption group creation or deletion.

A change in encryption group status or encryption engine status

Addition or removal of an encryption group member or encryption engine

If you are using the Encryption Center for the first time, please read the following topics before you
begin to perform encryption operations:

“Encryption user privileges”

on page 977 describes the Role-based Access Control privileges

that are specific to encryption.

“Smart card usage”

on page 978 and the topics that follow describe the options available for

the use of Smart Cards for user authentication, system access control, and storing backup
copies of data encryption master keys.

“Network connections”

on page 988 describes the network connections that must be in place

to enable encryption.
