To use the encryption feature of the Ultrium LTO-4 Tape Media Drive, you have to instruct the tape drive to encrypt or decrypt data and issue the appropriate key.

When power is removed, encryption is not enabled by default and the keys are not stored in the drive. The new SCSI commands SPOUT Security Protocol Out and SPIN Security Protocol In are used to set encryption and supply the key associated data, which is used to reference the correct key when restoring data.
