PGP - recommendationsHi,
Does anyone have any recommendations for a third parties PGP API for use in ..net? I am specifically looking to encrypt files that get sent to a bank. Thanks Al Does the bank require PGP for encryption or do they just require encryption
with a standard protocol? .NET 2.0 has good support for enveloped CMS messages out of the box, and these are quite standard as well.

crypto (although it sounds like it if they suggest PGP) and what algorithms they support (can you use AES or 3DES, or must you use something older like RC2?). Can they do certificate-based crypto? In any event, if they can't just give you a certificate and tell you to use PKCS7 enveloped data (which would be very easy for you), you'll probably have to dig around on the net for a PGP library for .NET. I know someone did a bouncy castle port to .NET a while ago, so maybe it is in there. Sorry I'm not aware of any PGP .NET implementations right off hand. I know that's all you asked for in the first place. :) Joe K. -- Show quoteHide quoteJoe Kaplan-MS MVP Directory Services Programming Co-author of "The .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services Programming" http://www.directoryprogramming.net -- "Al Smith" <a*@cox.net> wrote in message news:%23RR3sYMsGHA.5100@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Bank requires for encryption.

PGP hence the broad message. I am in the process of going back to the bank for any recommendations they have. They do want our public key though. Thanks again for your input. Requirements for PGP: · XXXXX's FTP server with some sort of FTP client machine. The most common platforms are MS Windows, Unix, Xenix, Linux, Mainframe, etc. · PGP encryption software. xxxx does not provide this. It is available on the Internet for free or cost depending on the software. · Do NOT use GnuPG - this is a German version of PGP that we are not compatible with. · Must be able to use PKZIP (any version, any platform). · xxxxx currently processes with version 6.5.8, it is recommended that clients utilize 8.0.0 and any previous versions, 8.1 is not recommended.

Quick search reveals http://www.eldos.com/sbb/net-pgp.php In fact, the requirements you have are quite common and many of our customers use both PGPBlackbox and SFTPBlackbox to communicate with their banks.
