6.6.2 USB Key Creation

When you create a volume encrypted by a USB key, click the Create USB Drive button to

open a series of screens for creating a volume encryption password and storing it on a

connected USB device.

6.6.2.1 Selecting the USB Device

When you click the Create USB Drive button a screen displays. Select the USB device on

which to create the USB key and click Next. Click a column’s heading cell to sort the table

entries by that column’s criteria. Click the heading cell again to reverse the sort order.

Encrypted Select this check box and an option from the drop-down list box to encrypt

the volume. This option is only available when you create a volume.

The NSA automatically locks an encrypted volume if the NSA restarts or

loses power or the disk is removed. An administrator can also manually

lock the volume. Once a volume is locked, no one can use it again until an

administrator unlocks it.

Encryption affects the NSA’s write speeds.

password: Select this option to manually enter a password for the

volume. You can also enter a password prompt hint to help you remember

the password if you forget it. You will need to manually re-enter the key

every time the NSA restarts.

USB key: Select this option to have the NSA create a password for the

volume and store the password on a connected USB device. Later, if the

volume is locked, the NSA automatically unlocks it when you insert the

USB key.

At start up, if a USB key is inserted, the NSA automatically unlocks any

volumes encrypted by it.

Password The password fields display if you choose to encrypt the volume by

manually entering a password. Enter a password for encrypting the

volume.

Password (Confirm) Re-type the password to make sure you entered it correctly.

Password Prompt Enter a hint to help you recall the password if you forget it.

USB Key The USB field and button display if you choose to encrypt the volume by

USB key. Select a USB key device that you created previously or select a

USB device that you want to make into a USB key.

If the USB device is not already connected, connect it and click the

Refresh icon.

The NSA’s upper USB port is USB1 and its lower USB port is USB2.

It is recommended that you use a USB device to store a volume key only

and not also use it for storage.

Create USB Drive Click this button to go to screens you can use to create a password for

unlocking the volume and store the password on a connected USB

device. You also use the screens to create copies of the USB key.

Note: Create duplicate USB keys now since you cannot

make them later.
