Encrypt a CD-R during the burn process?

RMDS

Is it possible to encrypt a CD-R while buring data to it?  We have DX installed and use it to encrypt USB drives, so I would hope CDs could be encrypted in a similar way.

    Hi RMDS,

    creating encrypted CD's is indeed possible using DX. Simply create a encryption rule (file based encryption) fo optical media and then burn a CD using the Windows integrated burning wizard. DVD can be burned as of Windows Vista.

    Further info regarding this can be found in the knowledgebase (serach for burning) and in the manual

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks for the response.  I actually did find the KB article on how to set this up, but can't seem to get it working. I opened support request 2201530 last Friday and am still waiting on resolution.

    Hi Donald,

    just checked that and my colleagues are already working on this as I can see.

    What you want to do is to use a local key as the encryption key > please try to create a key locally on a machine and then use this key in the policy as encryption key (for sure the key must be in the user key ring).

    After that you should be able to pass on the CD.

    In case that this should fix your issue please provide a short note otherwise I kindly ask you to drive the case via the support.

    Best regards
    Dan
