  • 1.  PGP Decryption using PGP CmmandLine

    Posted Sep 16, 2014 09:06 AM

    Hi Team,

    I am trying out the PGP Commandline for Solaris before the application procurement.

    I have an encrypted file from my client, a private key and a passphrase.

    There is another team which uses this private key and passphrase to decrypt the file on Windows.

    Now they want me to install PGP Commandline and use the same Private key and Passphrase to decryp the file on Solaris.

    I have installed the trial version on Solaris but do not know the commands to add this private key and decrypt the file.

    Please can you help me here.

    Regards,

    Abhishek Chourasia

    The user's guide can be found here for reference:
    http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC7066

    To import a key (see p. 99 in the user manual), place the key file in the home directory.  Thecommand would be similar to the following:
    pgp --import KeyFileName --passphrase Passphrase

    To decrypt the file, you would enter a command similar to this:
    pgp --decrypt FileName --passhrase Passphrase
