Netvault supports FIPS-compliant AES256 encryption method using the OpenSSL 2.0 FIPS module (4044013)

Netvault supports FIPS-compliant AES256 encryption method using the OpenSSL 2.0 FIPS module from 13.01 onwards

Consideration for using FIPS plugin 

Can End users use the old Encryption plugin? if so how ?

Customer can use AESFIPS Encryption from 13.01 onwards However AES256 FIPS compliant backups are noticeably slower and if End User would prefer to use AES256 (non-FIPS compliant) in the benefit of the backup speeds

Please follow the below steps

NV_HOME/config/encryption.cfg file. ( where NV_HOME is the installation directory of Netvault)

[Client:Crypto Algorithm]

Type=Combo

Width=24

Label=Available Encryption Algorithms

Help=Please select an Encryption Algorithm

Help Id=0

Value=AES256_OLD

Range=No module selected,AES256,CAST128,CAST256,AES256_OLD

Label Id=7047

After changing this restart the netvault service.

Now one can opt the AES256_OLD for non-fips mode encryption for further backup
