PGP Encryption

TIBCO MFT Internet Server supports PGP in a streamed mode.

PGP is important in two ways:

  1. It provides an additional level of encryption above what is provided in the file transfer protocol.

  2. It can validate the identity of the user or server that created the file.

Whenever you are transferring any personal data, financial data or any data that must be secured, we suggest using PGP encrypting the data prior before being transferred over a network connection. This is particularly important when transferring data over an unsecured FTP connection.

MFT has the following PGP capabilities:
  • For incoming File Upload requests
    • Decrypt the PGP data
    • Verify the signature of the PGP data
  • For incoming File Download requests
    • Encrypt the PGP data
    • Add a signature to the PGP data
  • For Outgoing Upload requests to a target Server
