Hi,

We are using PGP module from AEADAPTIVE.

Can anybody let me know how we generate the Public and Private key in PI and send it across to customers.

Hi Anandha,

Take a look to the Aedaptive PGP Manual:

Pay attention to the chapter 4.0 "Key Management"

Managing Keys with Key Manager

Key Manager is a simple key management tool that is offered alongside the AEDAPTIVe PGP Module.For downloads go to the AEDAPTIVe web site http://aeadptive.com and browse to Customer Area – Downloads - Software and Documentation for PI 7.1 – AEDAPTIVe PGP – Latest Release.The instructions in this section pertain to Key Manager, version 1.0.

Creating a New Key

This section describes how to generate a new private key with Key Manager.Perform the following steps to create a new key:

1. In Key Manager first choose to open existing key ring files to to create new onces.

2. Next choose Key → New or click the New button on the toolbar. The New Key window appears.

3. If you want the key to expire, select the option On Date after Expire and specify an expiry date.

4. Change any of the other options. Please refer to the references listed in section Error! Referencesource not found. for more information about these options.Note that you cannot change the Key Type; this version of Key Manager only supports the generationof RSA key pairs.

5. Specify a User ID, for instance the name of your company.

6. Specify by Email an email address.Please choose your name and email address carefully as these will be used by your partners to findyour key in their key rings. The best policy is to use the name of your company or department as theuser ID and the generic email address of the corresponding support team for the email address.

7. Type a passphrase. Your passphrase protects your private key so you should use a long passphrasethat is difficult to guess. Retype the passphrase after Repeat Passphrase.

8. Click OK to start generating the key pair, and optionally a key pair for signing.

9. You have now successfully created a key pair.

10. Select the new key pair and click Export in the tool bar.

11. Optionally change the name of the key and click Save.Be careful not to select the option

Include Private Key(s). Selecting this option will also export yourprivate keys. This can be useful, for instance if you want to store a backup of your private key in asafe location, but files generated with this option should never been shared with your partners.

12. You can now send the file with your public key to your partners.
