Create OpenPGP Key

Create OpenPGP Key

OpenPGP public and private keys are always created as a pair (Key Pair).  You will need to generate a Key Pair for either of the following conditions: 
If your trading partners need to send you encrypted files. 
If the trading partners need to verify the digital signature on files which are sent from your organization. 
Follow the instructions below to create a new Key Pair.
  1. Log in as an Admin User with the
    Key Manager
    role.
  2. From the main menu, select
    Encryption
    , and then click the OpenPGP Key Manager link.
  3. Click the  
    New Key
    link and define the values for the Key Pair. 
  4. Click the
    Save
    button to add the Key Pair.
    The private key portion will be placed in the secret key ring and the public key portion will be placed in the public key ring. 
    After creating a Key Pair, the public key portion can then be exported and sent to your trading partners.
    Typically the same public key can be shared with all of your trading partners. The secret key ring, private keys and passphrases should be kept confidential and should NOT be shared with trading partners.
