VTE Documentation Set

Releases 5.3.0 (AIX) and 6.3.1 (Linux/Windows)

Rebranding Announcement

From release 7.0.0 and onward, the VTE (Vormetric Transparent Encryption) Agent had been rebranded to CTE (CipherTrust Transparent Encryption) Agent.  When a host is registered with the DSM key manager, CTE is backward compatible with the VTE Agent when it comes to supported kernel platforms, applications, and configurations. For example, if a given kernel is supported starting with VTE for Linux 6.3.0.130, it is automatically supported in all CTE releases as well. Similarly, VTE for AIX added support for IBM Infosphere Guardium version 9.0 in VTE for AIX version 5.2.5.29, so it is automatically supported in all CTE for AIX releases as well.
