Key Management
Key management permits you to backup, import, and update an encryption key. It is
recommended that encryption keys be exported and saved to ensure that data can be decrypted in
the case of a systems failure, or inadvertent policy change.

the case of a systems failure, or inadvertent policy change.
The common key is the default encryption key that will be used for all data encryption agents. If
the encryption key is compromised, or as a security precaution, the key can be updated.
Generating a new common key will result in a temporary performance decrease, while managed
content is re-encrypted.
