access the agent services pages.
Figure 1.4. Data Recovery Manager Agent Services Page
A DRM agent performs the following tasks:
• Lists key recovery requests from end entities.
• Lists or searches for archived keys.
• Recovers private data-encryption keys.
• Authorizes and approves key recovery requests.
Key recovery requires the authorization of one or more
recovery agents
. The DRM administrator
designates recovery agents. Typically, several recovery agents are required to approve key recovery
requests in the DRM, so DRM administrators should designate more than one agent.
