Product Overview

PGP Command Line 9 is designed to provide command-line PGP encryption capabilities on z/OS systems. The architecture involves the PGP Command Line executable, configuration files for keyrings and trust databases, and integration points with z/OS USS. Components communicate through command-line arguments and standard input/output streams.

The product typically runs within an LPAR and is dependent on z/OS. It integrates with job scheduling systems and can be used to encrypt data before it is stored in databases or transmitted over networks. The main commands are `--encrypt`, `--decrypt`, `--sign`, `--verify`, `--gen-key`, and `--import`.

Authentication is managed through key pairs and passphrases. Audit logging provides a record of encryption and decryption activities. Alternatives include GnuPG (GPG) and other encryption utilities.

Deployment is typically on-premise, requiring z/OS and PGP expertise.
