Configuring the Public Key: Client Sends or Receives PGP-Encrypted Data

Before we configure the transfers to support PGP, we must associate the client's PGP public key with the user performing the transfer. The user's PGP public key is used for two purposes:

  • To verify the signature of the user that encrypted the file.

  • To encrypt data sent to the user.

To configure the public key, complete the following steps.

    Procedure

  1. Go to Management > PGP Keys > Public Keys > Add PGP Key.

  2. Enter the required information described in the table below:

    PGP Text Area
