I'm looking to implement a solution to create PGP encrypted files at well I know I can use SSL, now TLS, in FTP so that data is encrypted during transmission, but the data would be left in plain text on the destination file server, which is likely to be a server that is, shall we say, less than robustly protected. We'd prefer that the recipients of our data to not decrypt it until they pull the data inside their firewall....
Google and IBM-Main searches pull up lots of hits for PGP... There is PGP for OS/390 which can be found in a link on IBM's Ported Tools pages. Looks good, but I'm not sure I want to use shareware that requires a license from a fourth party for code included in the tool. MegaCryption seems to have a lot of hits. Most comments seem to be positive, except for comments about its cost. GnuPG (Gnu Privacy Guard) looked good too, but I didn't see any references where someone has successfully installed it on z/OS. Has anyone? Also found IBM's Encryption Facility for z/OS. Looks like release 2 (which just became available earlier this year) will create PGP files. Has anyone taken a look at this release yet? Any thoughts or opinions on it?
