    More on Smart Cards

    ■ )he data on the zFlash 'ards is en'rypted. )his is done to preent a''ess to the data if a zFlash 'ard

    is remoed from the system, su'h as for a repair a'tion or thru some mali'ious a'tion 8i.e. theft.■ )he Smart Cards are an essential part of managing the en'ryption 3eys.

    ■ )he blan3 Smart Card is the same one used by the )G& dei'e.

    ■ )he rimary S& 6ill 'reate an authenti'ation 3ey using the smart 'ard and store it on the S&. )he $lternate S& 6ill uses the smart 'ard in it to store the 3ey sent from the primary.

    )he smart 'ard, the S& hard6are, the C&C, and the generated Gey are tightly 'oupled in order topreent a''ess to the data on the zFlash 'ard in any pla'e other than the C&C it 6as formatted for.

    ■ If for some reason the smart 'ard fails on the primary an automati' s6it'h to the alternate 6ill happenand a seri'e 'all 6ill o''ur to hae the smart 'ard or the S& seri'ed. )here are pro'edures toensure the repaired S& or Smart Card is properly updated 6ith the en'ryption 3eys.

    ■ )he 3eys 6ill not be presered during migrations*upgrades. So, persisten'e of data on the zFlashadapters is thus not guaranteed. )he zFlash adapters are therefore good for things li3e paging

    storage but should not be used for situations 6here persisten'e is re4uired.

    ■ Bottom line )he Smart Cards must be installed so that the S& is prepared to store and handle theen'ryption 3eys used to prote't the data on the zFlash adapters.
