Using GPG/RSA Encryption Keys to Guarantee the Privacy and Security of Your Reports

Background:

In order to ensure the privacy and security of your Reports and Statements, we offer the following file delivery options:

  1. sFTP (Secure FTP) - Recommended Solution
    • We can send you Reports using the sFTP (Secure FTP) protocol on non-standard TCP port 32.
    • sFTP is a network protocol that utilizes SSH (Secure Shell) for the transfer, management, and access of files through an encrypted data stream.
    • Key based authentication is required. You will authenticate against our sFTP server through a unique RSA - 2048-bit public/private key pair, generated directly by you. We will use only your public key as authentication method for our sFTP server. Since the two keys are mathematically linked, only the private key holder (you) will be able to access the data.
    • PGP encryption1 is optional.
  2. Email with PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) Encryption
    • We can encrypt your Reports using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) certificates and send you those reports via email.
    • PGP encryption1 is optional but recommended. If you opt to receive your Reports via email without encryption, any account sensitive data will be masked.
  3. Plain FTP with PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) Encryption

    • We can send you Reports using the regular FTP protocol on standard TCP port 21.

    • PGP encryption1 is required. We can encrypt your Reports using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) certificates.

1PGP encryption is based on a private/public key pair, which is unique and generated directly by you. We will use only your public key to encrypt your Reports. Since the two keys are mathematically linked, only the private key holder (you) will be able to decrypt the files.
