There is the option of certificate based SSL. It is native to z/os (no cost) and there are PC clients available.
It is built right into FTP. HTH. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Warner Mach Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 2:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: PGP Assistance Needed We are a relatively small shop. We have need for PGP encryption to send payroll files to various banks, but can not afford an expensive solution. We installed PGP from 'Tools and Toys' and one of the banks accepts the resulting files. The T&T solution is relatively simple and another of the banks wants a more extensive encryption ... We talked to Mega-Cryption, but they are too expensive for our limited requirements. We also talked to the 'DATA21' folks, but they don't do PGP on the mainframe; the actual encryption is done on a PC which, for political reasons, does not work for us ... I see that another company is now advertising: 'Prime Factors' (www.primefactors.com). Has anyone had any experience with these folks? Are they likely to be less expensive than Mega-Cryption? ... Also, is there some other option that we might have overlooked? ... Thanks.
