Transfer Anywhere includes Open PGP compliant encryption technology to address the privacy and integrity of data. Open PGP is an industry standard that uses a combination of asymmetric (public key) cryptography and symmetric cryptology for providing a high level of data protection, making Open PGP one of the most popular encryption methods used today. 

Open PGP also address the issues of data authentication and non-repudiation with the ability to “sign” files via embedded digital signatures.

When signing and/or encrypting files with Transfer Anywhere, the resulting files can then be placed on the Local File System, distributed to a FTP server or sent to one or more E-mail recipients. For instance, a transfer can be defined to automatically retrieve records from a database, create an Excel document from those records, then encrypt the document and e-mail it to one or more recipients.

Transfers can be executed from within the Transfer Anywhere graphical client or through native iSeries/Windows commands which can be incorporated into your scheduler or batch processes. Additional commands are included with Transfer Anywhere for performing command-line driven Encryption, Decryption, Signing and Verification of files on the local file system.

Transfer Anywhere’s Open PGP encryption and decryption processes have been verified for interoperability with many other PGP and Open PGP products.
