BOA supports pgp.
We have gpg, after all, it's free<G>.
My position is, "well, let's try it".
But it is getting bogged down with technical people that are not
technical in this area.
My belief is gpg is, perhaps a couple years behind pgp as far as
features go. Unless we need the newer/better features, we can stay with
gpg. Of course, if one of the sites requires xxx bit encription, and if
gpg doesn't support that, well, we may end up buying a copy of pgp.
1. What other differences, that would make a difference, is there
between pgp and gpg?
2. If we needed pgp, we would only need 1 license. Is there a vender
of pgp for zLinux and what might be the cost of such product?

To my knowledge, the only things gpg has missing is Windows GUI and
filesystem encryption layer. For encrypting files, they should be on
par with each other, and there is something to be said for open source
encryption. Lower risk of back doors being forced on the product by a
government or company.
Now my question is, does (or can) gpg on zLinux use the crypto hardware?
