Re: PGP encryption.

We use PGP to send files to Wells Fargo. PGP is public/private key
encryption.
Generally Wells Fargo gives you a public key, you encrypt the file using
that. Once the file gets to Wells Fargo they decrypt it using the private
key.

We use BouncyCastle (open source) Java api to encrypt and decrypt. This is
encapsulated using a cl command so it can be called for CL. I got the
source from searching in google, but had to tweak the java classes a little
to make it work properly.

This is not like an SSL. SSL or SFTP is more at the protocol layer where as
when using PGP you have to encrypt first and then ftp or SFTP the file
over.

For PGP transfers with a couple of trading partners, I used IpSwitch WS_FTP

was good to go. Tried to keep it all on the "i" but couldn't get the open
source stuff working right in the timeframe I had. Definitely had no
budget
for Townsend or something similar.

Because Wells Fargo and Visa say so. It has been determined that is all I
need to know.

I know I am missing something. Why is PGP encryption needed? Using
sftp is already encrypted.

I can understand using PGP or GnuPGP if plain FTP is used.

Thanks,

John McKee

Even more reason to use GnuPGP...

It's compatible with PGP...

I've heard yesterday that Symantec now owns PGP and charges for it - an
enterprise license is like $9000 - my son is working for a union here
that has a partner who wants them to use PGP, then SFTP.

So I checked with our security guru, and he says, yes, you need to pay
now.

I don't know how Linoma deals with this - whether they have some kind
of
deal with Symantec.

Our guy said that each customer is assigned a shared key by Symantec.
This has to be given to anyone who needs to decrypt the data. You'd
need
to get that shared key from whomever is sending you stuff, I believe.

That's all I know - and I also won't say how I feel about Symantec!!

As far as key, they can be either or...as the receiver I'd expect the
partner to be using your public key that you'd need to provide
directly or publish.

decrypt
it. There's two questions that first pop to mind:
1 - Are PGP keys like SSL keys where you get them from a trusted
source
for a fee or are they something that you get from some open source
type
site for nothing?
2 - How does one decrypt a file on the i that is PGP encrypted?
