Abstract
A system includes a storage device having a first encryption protocol, and a controller having a second encryption protocol. A processor implements the first encryption protocol or the second encryption protocol based on a strength of each encryption protocol, a topology of the system, a federal information processing standard certification status, a virtualization support, a multi-key support, a multi-band support, and an enterprise key management server support. Storage transactions may be encrypted using the implemented encryption protocol.
