Use the encryption and decryption methods to secure files that a
file ingestion
job transfers.
When you define the file ingestion task, you can specify the encryption and decryption methods to use. For more information, see
Mass Ingestion Files actions.
File ingestion
jobs use the PGP method to encrypt and decrypt files. To encrypt files, you must provide a key ID. To decrypt files, you must provide a key passphrase.
If your user privileges allow you to update files in the agent location, you can use the key ring command line interface (CLI) to manage key IDs. For more information, see
Key ring command reference. If you do not have the privilege to access the agent location, ask your administrator for the key ID and key passphrase.
GPG method is compatible with the PGP method to encrypt and decrypt files.

Decryption
When you configure the decryption action for a
file ingestion
task, you provide a key passphrase. The key passphrase is the private key passphrase of the receiver who decrypts the file.
