We've done it for years with an AIX binary of gpg. If we ever have to
write another, I'll switch to the ibm provided rpm version on all of mine.
I'm pretty sure I wrote a test cl and a document on importing keys. I'll
look around this afternoon and see if I can find it. The only place we use
it is for sending stuff via FTP, and we push hard now for everything to be
SFTP, so I may never have to make that switch.

I have a DIY JAR that uses Bouncy Castle (

The most recent Java group PTF broke my JAR, and to continue I'll need to

update to the latest version of Bouncy Castle. I'm a little embarrassed to

say that I'm on the Feb 2013 version, so I suspect it'll take a significant

amount of rewriting to get it functional. It seems to be a good time to

look around and see if there's a better option.


Is anyone doing DIY PGP? If so, any suggestions?


TIA
