- Replace `HEX` macro with inline function
- Replace `atoi` with `strtoul` and validate range of algorithm index
- Add back debug logging of SCSI traffic that got deleted a while ago
* Remove logging "additional sense bytes" since it was interpreting
the sense data wrong. Still print out the whole sense result in
debug mode.
- Fix some compiler warnings
* replace switch statement with if-else blocks since we don't use
all the enum values
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
