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.
We opted to use our MainFrameLinux environment. Using our IFL, z/VM, and Suse linux which has PGP included. We use FDR Upstream to move the files from our z/OS system, tho I believe they have clients for windoze too, to our MFL image, encrypt using gpg, and ftp to site of choice.
