From this page you can download the latest version of my PGP utility. See the article in System iNews magazine for complete installation and usage instructions.

If you decide to use this software please know that you do so under these terms:

"It is the your responsibility to ensure that the software is accurate and appropriate for your installation. The software is offered As-Is and without warranties of any kind, whether implied or expressed. In no event shall I be liable for any damages, including, without limitation, general, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, resulting from the use of the software."

Note too that I retain copyright on my code.

With this revision the PGPDECRYPT command gains two new parms:

 Signature action . . . . . . . .   *IGNORE       *IGNORE, *WARN, *ERROR

 Signature key file . . . . . . .     ____________________________________

You can choose to decrypt a file and:

1) Ignore the signature entirely

2) Get a warning message if the signature doesn't validate

3) Get a hard error if the signature doesn't validate.

And here are the files (click or right-click on the file names and “save” to download):

pgputillib.file (a save file of the PGPUTILLIB library)

- Transfer the contents (with a binary FTP or something equivalent) to an empty save file called PGPUTILLIB that you create on your IBM i server. Then, on the server, restore the PGPUTILLIB library from the save file.

pgputiljava.zip (a zip file containing the Java source and class files)

- Unzip the Java code. Copy the class file (package structure intact) to the root file system of your IBM i server.

You are replacing the magazine version of the code with this version. Wherever you put the magazine code is where you want to put this code.

Note the following:

1. In this version the commands are called PGPENCRYPT and PGPDECRYPT (not just ENCRYPT/DECRYPT).

2. In this version the Java class that acts as the command processor is pgp.util.CmdProc2 (the old version was pgp.util.CmdProc).
