The AppAssure 5 Core allows you to create multiple encryption keys with the same dispaly name and it can get tedious from an administrativer perspective to keep your like named keys in order. Fortunately, AppAssure assigns a Globally Unique Identifier or GUID to all encryption keys that are created.
If you run into a situation where you need to remove encryption keys that have the same name but are not sure which on is which, there is a way to remove the un-needed key from the Windows registry only.
AppAssure 5 provides integrated encryption to protect backups and data-at-rest from unauthorized access and use, ensuring data privacy. AppAssure 5 provides strong encryption. By doing so, backups of protected computers are inaccessible. Only the user with the encryption key can access and decrypt the data. There is no limit to the number of encryption keys that can be created and stored on a system. DVM uses AES 256-bit encryption in the Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode with 256-bit keys. Encryption is performed inline on snapshot data, at line speeds without impacting performance. This is because DVM implementation is multi-threaded and uses hardware acceleration specific to the processor on which it is deployed.
