My company has mandated PGP.  Can I use your product instead ?

Yes.  FileAssurity OpenPGP is fully compliant with the OpenPGP standard made by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) so you will have no problems interoperating with other users whilst having an easy to use product that also allows you to work with the PKI world.  FileAssurity OpenPGP interoperates with PGP v5.x + and GnuPGP v1.2.3 +.


Is FileAssurity OpenPGP a proprietary PKI application or does it work with any PKI provider?

FileAssurity OpenPGP works with any PKI provider that supplies it's certificates in the following formats - .P7B (PKCS#7), .CER, .P12 (PKCS#12), .PFX, .PEM, X.509.  The majority of CAs offer .P12 format - Verisign, DST, Microsoft, etc. In addition, just like PGP, FileAssurity OpenPGP lets you generate your own keys.

You can generate keys and certificates in FileAssurity OpenPGP that are based on the X.509 standard and the OpenPGP RFC 2440 standard.


Does the person I am sending encrypted / digitally signed files or archives to have to be running the same version of Windows?

No.  It does not matter what version of Windows the sender or recipient are running - they do not have to be the same. For example, the sender could be running Windows 98 and the recipient Windows NT.


Can secure archives (.zip files) be opened by WinZip or a similar application ?

Yes.  FileAssurity OpenPGP generates .zip compliant archive files.  The contents of the archive can be extracted using any zip compatible application although an OpenPGP compliant product (or our free reader software) is required to decrypt the extracted files.


Does the person I am sending encrypted / digitally signed files or archives to have to have a full copy of FileAssurity OpenPGP installed on their PC?

No.  FileAssurity OpenPGP Reader decrypts and verifies all files for which the user has keys.  Anyone can download FileAssurity OpenPGP Reader and use it without charge.  They are not able to encrypt and sign files with this version of the product.  See Free Reader software.


Can I encrypt / digitally sign Files directly in my application (for example, MS Word)?

No.  You must encrypt / digitally sign files using FileAssurity OpenPGP.  Once files are protected you can send them using any mail or IM (Instant Messaging) application.
