Re: Encryption Help

What you need will depend on what the remote side has for decrypting and verifying. When people mention AES, SHA etc, these are just the raw methods that are applied to data streams but they don't define how encrypted/signed files are created and distributed. For this we need common "bundling" formats like PGP, S/MIME or even ZIP. These package the encrypted information with all the details that the receiver needs to decrypt them. If you want something free that supports AES you can use our ARP-ZIP product. ZIP doesn't support signatures though and uses passwords rather than public keys. <vendor>For that you're looking at something like PGP and we sell that although you might find an open source pase version.</vendor> But this will depend on what the remote side supports or requires...and what your auditors will permit!

Hello,

I need to encrypt a physical or stream file on an Iseries at record and file level.

The file will then be passed securely to a non-ibm site for decryption.

The Iseries (or what ever the new model name is) has OS V7.

Sorry I have no real knowledge of how encryption really works, storage of keys etc.

I assume this is beyond taking an example program from someone like Scott Klement.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
