    Thanks for the replay. I will install it and take a look. But what about to have a Ibm standard command as interface for ?

    Instead to use scripts , one Ibm i some command that ask for

    1. IFS Path

    2. Input file name ( example test.txt)

    3. Output file name ( example text.txt.gpg)

    4. Keyfile to be used to encrypt ( example keyfile.asc)

    Such command should be usable also in a CLLE with some monitoring message.

    So you can issue it in interactive way or use in a batch process.


    Best regards

    Luigi

    The IBM yum repository already contains GnuPG, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt files conforming to the OpenPGP standard. The package name is gnupg2 and can be installed with "yum install gnupg2" or found and installed using the Open Source Package Manager utility within ACS.

    For details on how to use GPG, refer to their documentation: https://gnupg.org/documentation/index.html
