Re: File Encryption

There are several options, from roll-your-own encryption to the AS/400
version of PKZIP to the Crypto hardware card from IBM.

 What are you trying to accomplish via encryption, do you need to access
the file from a program while it's encrypted, or will a bulk file
encrypt/decrypt process work (like a save, but with encryption)? You will
need to answer these questions before you can select an encryption method.
