File Encryption on HP 11.0

[Richard Taft]

I need to be able to send encrypted files in one of the following formats

DES
SED-EDE3
RC2-US
RC4-US

I downloaded the Stronge Encryption Package from th HP Software Depot site, but this seems to be an API for programers and it has no executables. Has anyone written or seen a site that has the executable "Front-End" for this package.

Have you tried sending your file over Secure Shell connection?

This will do DES for you (plus some others).

Thay have a flat FTP server at the other end. I need to encrypt before I send (Im alos sending the file to a DMZ server to send it out (File wall restriction))

[Calvin Bebermeyer]

If the Firewall is SOCKS, Secure Shell can negotiate through the DMZ.

Connecting to the plain ftp, that is another story.

Would the remote computer be willing to install SSH? You computer would be the only one having to worry about configuring for the Firewall.

I lucky that I got them to talk to me about what encrytions to try. No I will need to encrypt the file. at this time its the only option.

Hi,

I'm not sure which encryption algorithm it uses but the crypt command will encrypt and decrypt files. See the crypt(1) man page for more information.
