PGP Command Line 9.0 expands on the feature set of PGP Command Line 8.5 by adding support for mainframe platforms, improved key-management capabilities, and greater ease in securing backup data and communications. PGP Command Line offers a variety of features that benefit information security managers and IT administration staff:
Automated services, seamless integration
PGP Command Line 9.0 protects confidential information no matter where it resides. PGP Command Line 9.0 can be deployed in minutes, not months.
- Straightforward integration of encryption eases security into existing backup and batch processing setups.
- Automation of security processes creates dependable, consistent implementation of security policies.
- Compatibility with common mainframe batch control interfaces and scripting languages simplifies integration:
- IBM z/OS: JCL and other batch control interfaces
- IBM i/OS: CL other batch control interfaces
- Linux: Shell scripts, PERL, and other scripting languages
- Secure file deletion prevents reconstruction of sensitive, unencrypted data.
Standard-based and standards-compatible
PGP Command Line 9.0 works in any infrastructure, shares data across platforms and partners, and leverages existing security investments.
- Support for OpenPGP (RFC 2440) keys and X.509 certificates ensures interoperability.
- Support for data-compression technologies such as Zip, BZip2, and Zlib reduces data-transfer times.
- Support for key retrieval and update from existing PGP keyservers maintains the value of existing security investments.
- Use of key infrastructures already in place to secure electronic mail minimizes administrative overhead.
Assured access
PGP Command Line 9.0 makes sure business continuity is not at risk when keys are lost or stolen.
- Patented Additional Decryption Key (ADK) technology ensures corporate access to encrypted date, according to corporate security policy, if keys are lost, keyholders are unavailable or unwilling to make keys available, or if regulatory mandates demand access to sensitive data.
Proven encryption
PGP Command Line 9.0 secures data on a proven, industry-standard platform. PGP Command Line 9.0 makes it possible for organizations to comply with regulatory or business security mandates.
- Building on the mature, proven PGP Software Development Kit (SDK) used by thousands of global organizations results in encryption that can be trusted.
- PGP source code has survived more than a decade of intense review by the world's best cryptographers, resulting in encryption that can be trusted.
- Support for CAST5, TripleDES, IDEA, Twofish, and AES (up to 256-bit keys) means the most important symmetric key algorithms can be accommodated.
- Support for Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and RSA (up to 4,096-bit keys) means the most important public key algorithms can be accommodated.
- Support for SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, MD5, and RIPEMD-160 means the most important secure-hash algorithms can be accommodated.

 | "My security group had been pressuring other departments to move away from insecure protocols and explore more secure options such as PGP® Command Line. The PHNS Integrations group was able to write some scripts and develop applications that leverage PGP Command Line." – Brian Perry, Director, Information Security, PHNS |  |
