With the ever growing need for external and cloud based integration I’ve seen more and more needs for PGP encryption/decryption. Also as DataPower nor Message Broker explicitly supports PGP as part of it’s processing we’ve come up with a ‘workaround’ using GPG – AIX’s open-source PGP tool,
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-gnupg/
The script below combines MQ (for triggering and basic queuing) and GPG for decryption – it reads any encrypted message and decrypts it using GPG; as all IBM’s ESB’s support MQ the script is interoperable with all ESB’s. I would however recommend MQFTE if you’re looking for a true fault tolerant solution as the script below does not have ‘restart’ capabilities if there’s a system failure.
Unlock Your Potential with Application Modernization
Application modernization is a growing area of focus for enterprises. If you’re considering this path to cloud adoption, this guide explores considerations for the best approach – cloud native or legacy migration – and more.
