Features

• Encryption for file transfers and data-processing applications

  Data transfer and processing systems are at the heart every organization, exchanging large volumes of information between internal systems, suppliers, and customers. Legacy data transfer systems are especially prone to security breaches, however, because traditional file transfer and email protocols have no built-in security.

  For organizations that need to securely exchange large volumes of information, PGP Command Line can protect business-critical data easily and with little impact on existing systems. PGP Command Line can also be used to protect large volumes of information stored on servers from unauthorized access.

• Industry-Leading Data Encryption

  PGP Command Line secures data in automated processes, helping organizations comply with regulations and protect privacy and confidentiality. Available on many platforms, PGP Command Line secures mission-critical data across the enterprise. Unlike alternative solutions, PGP Command Line helps protect data both in transit and at rest and supports digital signatures to generate audit trails.

• Flexible Integration in New & Legacy Processes

  PGP Command Line can be integrated in virtually any automated process. The life cycle of existing business applications can be extended by adding security with little impact on the application itself. New applications benefit from leveraging an established, proven cryptographic standard using a straightforward interface.

• PGP Encryption Platform–Enabled

  PGP Command Line is a PGP Encryption Platform–enabled application. The PGP Encryption Platform provides a strategic enterprise encryption framework for shared user management, policy, and provisioning, automated across multiple, integrated encryption applications. As another PGP Encryption Platform–enabled application, PGP Command Line leverages keys managed by PGP Universal™ Server, expediting deployment and systems management. PGP Command Line can be used in combination with other PGP® encryption solutions to provide multiple layers of security.

• PGP Universal Server Management

  PGP Command Line can be integrated with PGP Universal Server to centrally manage enterprise keys and as part of an enterprise data protection strategy based on PGP technology.

  • Central key management

    Enables organizations to easily administer encryption keys from a unified management console.

  • Extended protection

    Allows management of other PGP Encryption Platform–enabled applications from a single admin-istrative interface.

• Standard-based and standards-compatible

  PGP Command Line 9.0 works in any infrastructure, shares data across platforms and partners, and leverages existing security investments.

  • Support for OpenPGP (RFC 2440) keys and X.509 certificates ensures interoperability.
  • Support for data-compression technologies such as Zip, BZip2, and Zlib reduces data-transfer times.
  • Support for key retrieval and update from existing PGP® keyservers maintains the value of existing security investments.
  • Use of key infrastructures already in place to secure electronic mail minimizes administrative overhead.

• Assured access

  PGP Command Line 9.0 makes sure business continuity is not at risk when keys are lost or stolen.

  • Patented Additional Decryption Key (ADK) technology ensures corporate access to encrypted date, according to corporate security policy, if keys are lost, keyholders are unavailable or unwilling to make keys available, or if regulatory mandates demand access to sensitive data.

• Proven encryption

  PGP Command Line 9.0 secures data on a proven, industry-standard platform. PGP Command Line 9.0 makes it possible for organizations to comply with regulatory or business security mandates.

  • Building on the mature, proven PGP® Software Development Kit (SDK) used by thousands of global organizations results in encryption that can be trusted.
  • PGP source code has survived more than a decade of intense review by the best cryptographers, resulting in encryption that can be trusted.
  • Support for CAST5, TripleDES, IDEA, Twofish, and AES (up to 256-bit keys) means the most important symmetric key algorithms can be accommodated.
  • Support for Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and RSA (up to 4,096-bit keys) means the most important public key algorithms can be accommodated.
  • Support for SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, MD5, and RIPEMD-160 means the most important secure-hash algorithms can be accommodated.

Benefits

• Trusted Data Transactions

  PGP Command Line is easily integrated into script-driven business processes. Once deployed, PGP Command Line automatically encrypts and decrypts data on-the-fly.

  • File transfer security

    Provides encryption for file transfer between internal systems, suppliers, and customers.

  • Email encryption

    Encrypts emails in automated processes using the OpenPGP or S/MIME standard.

  • Faster transmissions

    Compresses data to save transfer time and bandwidth.

  • Secure file deletion

    Securely and permanently eliminates all traces of sensitive files from a disk.

• Fast and flexible deployment

  PGP Command Line is a flexible security application that easily integrates with most commercial and homegrown data transfer and processing systems.

  • Secure data exchange with any recipient

    Provides multiple options for protecting data to ensure secure transmissions regardless of the technical capabilities of the recipient.

  • Easy alternative to network-layer encryption

    Encrypts the data itself, eliminating the need for hard-to-manage virtual private networks (VPNs).

• Comprehensive protection

  PGP Command Line protects corporate data end to end, at every point during transmission, and while stored on disk.

  • Protection throughout the data lifecycle

    Keeps data confidential while in transit and at rest, even if the server is breached.

  • Authenticity and audit trails

    Digitally signs data to provide long-term audit trails and to enable the recipient to verify the authenticity of the sender and content.

  • Enterprise Standard

    PGP Command Line is a versatile, multipurpose encryption application that integrates with a wide range of automated processes such as file transfers, bulk emails, or backups. It is supported on the most widely used enterprise operating systems.

    • Long-term corporate data access

      Helps ensure corporations have long-term access to encrypted data.

    • Secure data flow across platforms

      Establishes a common denominator that securely connects mixed systems.

• PGP Command Line for Mainframes:

  PGP Command Line runs on IBM® iSeries® and zSeries® hardware platforms, supporting IBM operating systems along with Red Hat® and SuSe® Linux.

  PGP® Command Line enables organizations to integrate encryption into batch processes, data transfer, and backup processes to ensure the security of corporate data at rest or in transit. Whether it is credit card information, financial transactions, payroll, medical records, or other confidential information, PGP Command Line makes it straightforward to secure data from end to end during automated operations and backup procedures.

  Designed to integrate easily with existing processes, PGP® Command Line for IBM® iSeries® and PGP® Command Line for IBM zSeries® are engineered for the mainframe platform while providing full command and file format compatibility with PGP Command Line running on UNIX and Microsoft® Windows® servers.

System Specifications

PGP Command Line is supported on Microsoft Windows, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sun Solaris, and Apple Mac OS X.
