Subject: Re: PGP

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?
