Tape Encryption (was: Storage of a Save 21 Tape)

["Ingvaldson, Scott" <SIngvaldson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We saw something on this in a presentation last week. From the
powerpoint:

Choices for encrypting data:

Encryption device connected between server and external tape unit
Decru - http://www.decru.com
Unylogix - http://www.unylogix.com 
Neoscale - http://www.neoscale.com
Paranoia - http://www.avax.com/paranoia.html
IBM TotalStorage Proven (additional 3rd party vendor solutions).

Encrypt sensitive data in DB fields
DB2 column encryption: As of V5R3 DB2 supports column encryption through
a combination of SQL scalar functions and INSTEAD OF triggers on views
Additional details in the iSeries V5R3 InfoCenter:

file before saving to tape)

Does the i5 support tape encryption?  Does anyone use it?  (Remembering 
the debacle where a bunch of backup tapes with SSN's, etc on it for some

major firm came up missing.)
