Sends the encryption key as an email attachment to the email address
provided. To use this option, SMTP must be enabled and the SMTP
server entered. See Configuring and Using Encryption on page109.
USB key
Saves the exported encryption key to the USB device connected to the
Controller Module.
6. Make a record of the encryption key password; you need it to import the key
back into the library. Without the password, you cannot import the key, and the
data encrypted using the key is inaccessible.
CAUTION
Do not lose the encryption key password. Without it, you cannot reimport an
encryption key after it is deleted from the library, and the data encrypted using
the key is inaccessible.
7. Confirm that the encryption key was correctly exported.
• If you exported the encryption key using an RMI download — Confirm the
file exported correctly as described in Verify the Exported Encryption Key.
• If you exported the encryption key to a USB device—Immediately confirm
that the encrypted key copied correctly by clicking Check Key Files (see
Figure70 on page121) and following any prompts. If desired, save or print the
Check Key Files report for an audit record showing that the USB device was
readable, and that the destination key matched the source key. Use the steps in
Verify the Exported Encryption Key to provide a second confirmation.
• If the confirmation indicates the key did not copy correctly, delete all data from
the USB device so that no trace of the failed export file remains, and then
export the key again using a different USB device, beginning with Step 2 on
page126.
• If you exported the encryption key using email—Confirm the receipt of the
email with the attachment by contacting the user to whom you sent the
encrypted key file. Confirm that the email attachment contains a key file as
described in Verify the Exported Encryption Key on the next page.
