| Encrypting a Mac Only Data Disc |
| If you are planning to record a Mac Only data disc, you can encrypt your data with 128-bit encryption and protect it with a password. |
| Toast does not have to be installed on the Macintosh where you view the contents of the disc, but inserting the disc into that computer will prompt you for a password. |
| To encrypt a Mac Only data disc: |
| 1 | Set up your data disc. |
| 2 | In the Data tab, click the Disc Settings button (or the disc title). |
| The Disc Settings drawer opens. |
| 3 | In the Disc Settings drawer, select the Encrypted check box. |
| 4 | Click the red Record button. |
| The New Passphrase dialog appears, asking you to enter a password. |
| 5 | Enter a password, verify it, and click OK. |
| • | Warning: | Keep your password in a safe place. If you forget your password, there will be no way to access the data on the disc. |
| 6 | When prompted, insert a disc into the currently selected recorder. |
| Toast displays a progress bar as it burns your encrypted data to disc. |
| If you have selected the verification option, Toast checks the contents of the disc against the original data to ensure that recording was successful. |
| To use an encrypted disc after encryption: |
| 1 | Insert the encrypted disc into the drive. |
| 2 | When the disc icon appears on the desktop, double-click it. |
| The disc opens into a folder, which contains the encrypted file containing the contents of the disc. |
| 3 | Double-click the encrypted file. |
| Mac OS will prompt you for the password. |
| 4 | Enter the correct password. |
| The file will de-crypt and you will be able to view the contents. |
