Re: Encryption on the AS/400

["Patrick Townsend" <patownsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

The product implements the full set of RSA key support as Network Associates
has the RSA commercial license included. Support for key sizes below 768 has
been dropped for security reasons. The default PGP key size is 1024 bits and
supports a maximum key size of 4096 bits. You can establish an RSA key as
your private key if you like. Some divisions of Bank of America require
this.

There are several APIs for encrypting, decrypting, and signing files. It is
also integrated with our FTP APIs which include commands and callable
programs. You can, for example, call an FTP API that will convert your file
to ASCII, encrypt with PGP, and transmit to a remote FTP server. Or you can
use several of the more granular APIs to control each step of the process.
