Abstract
A data module encrypts a first portion of a drive in a data center using a first encryption key. The data module encrypts the first encryption key using a second encryption key to obtain an encrypted encryption key. The data module stores the second encryption key in a first location and stores the encrypted encryption key in a second location that is separate from the first location and that is inaccessible from outside the data center.
