Encryption Options in Informatica Managed File Transfer

Managed File Transfer

provides several different encryption standards for protecting the privacy and integrity of your organization’s data. These encryption standards are described below:

Encryption standard	Key Type	Encryption
ZIP with standard password protection	Symmetric	File
ZIP with AES encryption	Symmetric	File
OpenPGP	Asymmetric	File
AS2 (S/MIME over HTTP(S))	Asymmetric	File/Connection
Secure Email	Asymmetric	File/Connection
SCP (FTP over SSH)	Asymmetric	Connection
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)	Asymmetric	Connection
FTPS (FTP over SSL)	Asymmetric	Connection
HTTPS (HTTP over SSL)	Asymmetric	Connection

Key Type

ZIP implements a Symmetric key type, which means that the same password can be used to encrypt and decrypt the file. The other standards (listed above) implement an Asymmetric key type, in which one key will be used to encrypt the data and a different key will be used to decrypt the data.

File Encryption

ZIP and OpenPGP can encrypt the files themselves, protecting the data at rest. Secure Email and AS2 are able to encrypt files before they are sent to protect sensitive information over an unsecured connection.

Connection Encryption

The entire connection (pipe) between the client and server can be encrypted using SSL or SSH. Any commands, messages and data flowing over the connection will be encrypted.
