Stenc
-----
SCSI Tape Encryption Manager - Manages encryption on LTO tape drives (starting with generation 4) with hardware-based encryption.
Program should work on any other SCSI security protocol (SSP) capable tape drives. Built specifically for Linux.
Supports key change auditing and key descriptors (uKAD).
Features
--------
* SCSI hardware-based encryption management
* Supports Linux
* Supports most SSP compliant devices, such as LTO-4 tape drives
* Key change audit logging
* AES Encryption
* Key Descriptor Management
