OpenPGP Encryption

Managed File Transfer

incorporates OpenPGP compliant encryption technology to address the privacy and integrity of data. OpenPGP is an industry standard that uses a combination of asymmetric (public key) cryptography and symmetric cryptology for providing a high level of data protection, making OpenPGP one of the most popular encryption methods used today.

The following figure shows the encryption process:

OpenPGP also address the issues of data

authentication

and

non-repudiation

with the ability to “sign” files via an embedded

digital signature

The OpenPGP encryption and decryption processes in

Managed File Transfer

have been tested for compatibility with many other PGP products, including PGP Desktop from PGP® Corporation, E-Business Server from McAfee® and GnuPG.

After encrypting files with OpenPGP,

Managed File Transfer

can place the resulting files on the Local File System, send them to another server (such as an FTP server) or send them to one or more email recipients. For instance, a Project can be defined to automatically retrieve records from a database, create an Excel document from those records, then encrypt the document and email it to one or more recipients.

Managed File Transfer

also allows you create Projects to retrieve encrypted files, decrypt and/or verify the files and import the data from the decrypted files into a database.

Managed File Transfer

includes an integrated Key Manager to manage your OpenPGP keys. This key management tool can be used to create keys, change keys, export keys and import keys. These keys can then be utilized within

Managed File Transfer

Projects for performing OpenPGP encryption and decryption.
