Question
I am considering the possibility of migrating our existing system to HULFT Square.
The existing system uses PGP encryption with a public key using RSA algorithm.
Is it possible to encrypt in the same way as the existing system with HULFT Square?
If it is possible, does PGP encryption support both common key cryptography and public key cryptography?
Answer
PGP encryption can be used in Encrypt operation.

In PGP encryption, the file to be encrypted is encrypted with a common key, and then the common key is encrypted with a public key. When decrypting, the private key decrypts the common key, and the common key decrypts the file.
In this way, PGP encryption uses both common and public key encryption methods. Therefore, it can be said that PGP encryption supports both cryptography in other words.
Encryption using public and private keys in HULFT Square can be performed as follows:
Procedure
- Generate a public key and a private key using any encryption method.
- Place the generated keys at the source and destination hosts respectively.
In the case of HULFT Square, upload the key to Storage. - Specify the path to the public key uploaded in step 2 in the Public Key field of Encrypt operation properties, Required Settings tab.
- When executing decryption, specify the path to the private key uploaded in step 2 in the Private Key field of the Decrypt operation properties, Required Settings tab.
For the encryption method of the public/private key, there is no item to specify the encryption method on HULFT Square, since it is generated and placed using the method of your choice as described in step 1 of the above procedure.
For example, if you want to use the RSA algorithm, generate your public/private keys using RSA algorithm and place them in storage.
The encryption format of the common key should be set in Encryption cipher item in the properties of the Encrypt operation. If no changes are made, the default setting "AES-256" will be applied.
