Send and Receive zSeries data as PGP Compressed/Encrypted Files

Description
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a standard used by many organizations today for protecting information. Not only is the encryption quite good, it is public/private key pair driven. The advantage of a public/private key pair is that the keys themselves need not be securely transmitted before the transaction occurs. Hackers may obtain the data stream in either direction to or from servers, but without the private key, the information is useless. PGP is available in full strength versions all over the world. A lot of work was put into legally exporting PGP in order to make sure that full-strength compatible versions are available outside the U.S. and Canada. PGP is strong enough to protect your business, financial, and medical information, no matter where you or the other end of the exchange are.

ZIP/390 enables zSeries batch jobs to send/receive PGP files in a highly efficient manner via transparent use of the IpBridge/Connect component.
Benefits of the PGP Appliance Approach:
  • Relatively low cost of ownership as compared to other mainframe centric PGP solutions.
  • Low Mainframe overhead vs. performing the CPU cycle intensive encryption/decryption process on the Mainframe.
  • The process remains a Mainframe controlled one from start to finish:
       a) z/Series Job Scheduling.
       b) z/Series return codes to confirm success/failure of end-to-end process.
