PGP Script on Unix

[Jade Bulante]

Does anyone have a good PGP script that is good for automating encryption and decryption using various public keys??

Need help!!

Hi Jade,

if you are into Perl there are lots of useful modules from CPAN for all kinds of purposes.

Have a look at

http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=PGP

Apart from that I guess scripting in any shell shouldn't be too difficult by simply supplying pgp with the appropriate arguments.

We don't use PGP (because of licensing issues with certain cryptographic algorithms) but instead the free GnuPG for our script based en/decryption for printing of sensitive salary accounting.
The syntax of the gpg command and the administration of keyrings for GnuPG is pretty similar to PGP.
