When Sent as an Email Attachment
1. Open the email attachment and verify that it contains a file called name.bsk
where name is the moniker you assigned to the key when it was created.
2. Make sure that the file is more than 0 bytes in size. If the file meets these
requirements, the encryption key was successfully exported and is usable.
If the email attachment does not contain the exported key file or if the file is
0bytes in size, repeat the export process as described in Export the Encryption
Key on page126.
3. If desired, print or save a screen capture showing the attachment name and file
size for an audit record showing that the file was received, and that the key file
contained information.
4. Save the email attachment to a safe location from which you can copy it to a
USB device, if needed.
Protect the Encryption Key
In conformance with your security plan, track the location of each USB device
containing the exported key or the name of each person who received the email
message with the exported key file attached. Also keep track of the password you
used when you exported the key.
CAUTION
Make sure you keep a record of the password created when exporting the
key. You must have this password and the encrypted file containing the
exported key in order to import the encryption key back into the library.
Without the key password, you are not able to import the encryption key.
IMPORTANT
Backup files of the library configuration include any encryption keys that were
stored in the library at the time the file was created.
