Data encryption is supported with LTO Ultrium 4 Data Cartridges only. Encryption is also supported with library firmware version 5.80 and higher and drive firmware version 77BE and greater.

The encryption enabled drive contains the necessary hardware and firmware to encrypt and decrypt host tape application data. Encryption policy and encryption keys are provided by the host application or host server. A drive digital certificate
