RE: Encryption methods on the i

The version of OpenSSL on the V7R1 and very recent PTFs that I have is 9.8
so that is before the problem.

Does the apache in the i have the vulnerability?

Is there a reason that you can't just use SSL or TLS for the
transmission (either over FTP or HTTP)?

Of course, making sure your OpenSSL is patched first. :)

Why add a layer of complexity on both ends when you can have the system
do it for you?

The API's David pointed out are what you want.

Realize that you'll need to open the file in binary mode and the the
decrypted results will be in ASCII.

Based on the information I have at this time, they want to just
encrypt

the

data on their system (non ibm i) before transmission to prevent
unauthorized access.
They are sending ascii csv data, so the records and fields with them
are varying length.

Encrypting the actual data, or the communication?
For example, I could use sftp to transfer files encrypted between
two systems. That would encrypt the communications but not the
actual data itself. You could put a sniffer on that comm but you
would not be able

to

make any sense out of that.
Many people use free sftp between disparate entities.

All,
I have a client that is presently sending files from another system

(not

i)
to the IFS in CSV format..
They are planning to encrypt the data prior to transmission and my

program

will need to decrypt it before processing.

What encryption / decryption methods are available on the i to do this?
At this time, the client has not chosen an encryption method and
they

want

to ensure that the decryption process is available for the i.

At this time, they are not looking for a commercial solution, and I

would

prefer a solution that could be used an ILE RPG program, or a system
command.

TIA,
