To ensure that customer data is protected in the event that a file is intercepted during the data transfer, submit files that have been encrypted using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), a registered trademark of Network Associates, Inc. PGP is a widely accepted and trusted method of data encryption that utilizes public key encryption technology.
Public key encryption uses two complimentary keys, one public and one private, to implement secure communications. The public key can be distributed freely to other users for encrypting files and cannot be used for decryption. The private key is kept by the user who is to receive the files, and must be used in conjunction with a pass phrase to decrypt all files that have been secured with the public key.
In order to encrypt a file prior to transferring it, you must first install PGP on your computer, and add the public half of the 1stMILE key to your key ring.
To add this key, paste the following block of text into Notepad or another program capable of saving an unformatted text file:
