Dr. Crypto

Dr. Crypto is an add-on to Dr. D that provides encryption for backup data on zVSE/VSEn systems.

It is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing zVSE/VSEn environments, providing robust encryption capabilities for backup data. Dr. Crypto uses SSL for secure communication within the VSE environment.

Key architectural components and communication methods include: * **Encryption Module:** Responsible for encrypting and decrypting backup data. It integrates with the Dr. D backup system to intercept data streams and apply encryption algorithms.

* **SSL Communication Layer:** Provides secure communication channels using SSL. This layer ensures that data transmitted between components is protected from eavesdropping and tampering. * **Configuration Manager:** Manages the configuration settings for Dr.

Crypto, including encryption keys, SSL certificates, and integration parameters with Dr. D. * **Audit Logging System:** Records events related to encryption and backup operations.

These logs can be used to monitor security and compliance. Dr. Crypto leverages the access control mechanisms of the zVSE/VSEn operating system.

It integrates with existing user authentication and authorization systems. The specific encryption algorithms used depend on the SSL configuration within the zVSE/VSEn environment. Competing products may offer similar encryption capabilities, but Dr.

Crypto is specifically designed for zVSE/VSEn environments and integrates directly with Dr. D.
