Re: IFS Encryption

Chris,
You should also add Liaison (nuBridges) to your possibilities. All
of those companies are probably good choices right now, but they do excel
in different areas. You can contact me off-line if you would like more
detail.

thanks, Larry

IFS Encryption

I have a need to encrypt files stored on our iSeries at V6R1. Actually
they are on a NAS server that does not support native encryption. The
iSeries uses a NFS mount over the NFS share. Only the iSeries writes
files to the NAS. The files are mostly tiff and jpeg images but other
file types will also need to be encrypted in the future. We will have to
change the way we retrieve the files for display on the PC's as we
currently send a UNC path to the SMB share of the NAS. That can be
changed to the SMB share (Netserver) on the iSeries. I am currently
researching Alliance AES encryption and Linoma Crypto Complete solutions.
What else is out there and how hard is it to roll your own?
