About Encryption keys

Encryption keys are generic purpose objects which Endpoint Encryption applications

can use to encrypt information – for example, Endpoint Encryption for Files and

Folders uses Key objects to protect files and folders on network, removable media and

user hard disks.

Encryption key administration functions

You create and manage the Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders keys from the

Endpoint Encryption Manager. Navigate to the Policies tab and find the entry

Encryption Keys Groups.

You can create any number of Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders Encryption

Key Groups. Each group created should have a clear purpose reflecting the use of the

keys within that group, e.g. Company keys or Test keys.

Simply right-click the Encryption Keys Groups node and select Create keys

groups. When selected, you will be asked to give a name for the group. You may also

specify if all the member keys in this group should have the same settings as the

group itself. Typically, this is not the case. Each individual key created is separate

from the others, even if in the same group. Otherwise it would not make sense to

have several encryption keys (i.e. if all had identical settings).

Create an Encryption Key

Once you have created an Encryption Keys Group, you may create and configure

individual encryption keys.

You should create encryption keys to fulfill an organizational or functional need, e.g.

Management Key, Project X Key and Company common key.

To create a new Endpoint Encryption for Files and Folders key:

1. Navigate to the Policies tab of the Endpoint Encryption Manager.

2. Find the Encryption Keys Groups.

3. Double-click it to expand the groups.

4. Either open an existing group, or create a new group by right-clicking the top

node and selecting Create keys groups.

5. From the open group window, right-click and select Create new key.

6. Enter the name for the new key, type in an optional description if needed.
