About PGP Keys

PGP encryption is a form of public key file encryption that is used with email messages and to encrypt files for transfer over public networks.

MOVEit Automation contains a built-in, fully integrated, OpenPGP software module with comprehensive encryption and key management capabilities. Use of the MOVEit Automation OpenPGP capabilities is optional and requires a special license key. Commercial use requires payment of a license fee and an annual maintenance fee. Use the Configuration Utility to view or modify your license settings after installation. For more information, contact MOVEit support.

MOVEit Automation stores PGP keys in files called keyrings, which contain public keys, and private/public keypairs. For more information, see Public and Private Keys.
