Identifying a PGP encrypted file

Is there a way to identify if a file is PGP encrypted or not by looking at the contents of the file? For example, a ZIP file can be identified by verifying if the first two chracters start with "PK".
Thanks!!

hi,
You can write an adapter module to encypt your payload before sending to Reciever:

File Name in the Send Port with PGP Encryption

Hello,
The File Name in the Send Port should be set with the mask like ABC.txt.pgp. Since I have used the PGP Encryption Component it is generating the File name like ABC.pgp.txt.pgp. But what I need is just the ABC.txt.pgp. How can be this be done. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What you are seeing is the expected behavior. If you are referring to this:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/BizTalk-Sample-PGP-ebcbc8b2
or one of it's derivatives, it will internally modify FILE.ReceivedFileName to append .pgp if that property is set.
So, if you use just %SourceFileName%, you will likely get the desired result. Otherwise, you will have to explicitly set FILE.ReceivedFileName to ABC.txt somewhere before the PGP component.
You can also modify the source code to remove this behavior.

PGP Encryption Scenario for a Proxy to File Scenario.

I have a scenario where an outbound proxy from R/3 system is extracting some hr related info type data and sending it to XI system. The XI system is required to convert the data into a flat file format and encrypt the data using PGP.
R/3 -
Proxy -
> XI System -
File Encrypted----
> External System.
Need some inputs from experts how to set up the scenario. In the file adapter we can trigger scripts at the O/S level to encrypt the file.
What I would like to know what the configurations that are required to get the scenario working namely,
1. Where do we need to install the PGP software is it on the FTP server or XI server ?
2. How will the scripts be executed by the Receiver File adapter ?

Hi Indranil
Here is some info on PGP/XI
<<<<1. Where do we need to install the PGP software is it on the FTP server or XI server ?

XI server
Also go thru the following excerpt
XI dont support PGP encryption and decryption. I have done some interfaces using PGP encryption at OS level and then using XI. Install the software in XI and write the OS command for encryption and decryption at OS level. Call this command in File adapter after or before message processing.
PGP Encryption:
We get the normal text file from R3. Then we have written two XI interfaces here. My first interface will pick from R3 and encrypts the file and drops it in another location of R3. In this interface I have given OS command before message processing. This will pick the file and do the encryption.
My second interface will pick the encrypted file from R3 and do a simple FTP to the Bank.
This is exactly opposite for decrypting the file from Bank.

Need hlep for PGP Encryption for delimited file transfer using B2b

I have a requirement to read the PGP encrypted delimited file from partner and decrypt it to process. Can any body tell me how can I do this in b2b. I really appreciate the help

Better read it as a binary document and pass it to the back-end for further processing (decryption and processing). If you want to the decryption at B2B layer itself then use the java callout feature -

PGP encryption and moving of a file from one system to another

Hi All,
Could you please provide me the necessary information in setting up the below jobs in Redwood CPS.
a) How can i do pgp encryption to a file in a SAP system?. Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
b) How can i do pgp encryption to a file in a non SAP system?. Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
b) Can i move a file from one SAP system to another SAP system(example ECC to BI)?. If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
c) Can i move a file from a SAP system to a Non- SAP system?. If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
d) Can i move a file from a Non-SAP system to another Non- SAP system?. If so, could you please provide me the necessary steps.
e)How can i ftp a file and move it to a different network?. Could you please provide me the necessary steps.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Ramana

Hi Ramana,
a) You have a file in an SAP system that you want to encrypt, I you have the full path to the file, you can create and use an appropriate external command to perform the encryption, unless you know of an ABAP program to do that. Once you know which option you have, you can either schedule SAP_AbapRun to run the ABAP to encrypt the file, or SAP_ExternalCommandRun if you have an external command defined for the process.
b) On the target system, you install a platform agent (license required) and check which command you have for pgp encryption. On Unix, you would use gpg. Simply create a BASH job definition with a String parameter named File and fill the following source: gpg -e -u `whoami` -r [email protected] <${File} > $File"_encrypted"
b2) Talk to your SAP Basis team, you could use SAP CTS/STMS for that, you could integrate that into CPS
c)I imaging the file is an output of an ABAP program ? Run the ABAP program from within CPS with SAP_AbapRun, then the file will be on the CPS server, you can then copy the file to the target host, again, platform agents required on CPS system. You can use FTP, sFTP, SCP, NFS, CIFS (Windows share) whatever your platform requires.
d) Platform agents required on source system. Target system must have windows share/NFS/SSHD/FTP or whatever you could use for file transfers
e)Please see the documentation on jftp.

PGP Encryption support in SOA Suite 11g

Hi,
Looking for PGP encryption support in SOA Suite 11g as we have a requirement to encrypt the file using PGP encryption and send over SFTP.
I already went through some of the forums posts but they are date back to 2007, so just wanted to confirm if there is anything in recent releases of SOA Suite.
- FTP adapter support or
- OWSM suppport.
As far as i know, we have to install some PGP tool and write a script to encrypt/decrypt and call the script from BPEL. this conclusion is based on a stmt given in the OWSM 10g book by sitaraman.
Please provide your insights on this.
Thanks
Siva

Hi Siva,
I don't think still there is any support for PGP in Oracle SOA. You may use java for PGP encryption/decryption and transfer externally encoded messages over SFTP.
Please refer -

After 10.6 security update 2013-002 PGP encrypted disk won't boot

I ran the latest security update on my very old 17" intel MacBook Pro (It won't boot, so I can't give you the model number). It has PGP encryption installed on it, but I only have my passphrase, not the keys since it's a managed system. Half way through the install, it failed with a cryptic error, and the machine won't boot now. It gets half way through booting, and the screen goes black.
I have booted into single user mode, and ran fsck and applejack, only to get an error about a sibling error, and the hard disk is full.
Is this a PGP issue? Does the latest security update conflict with PGP?
I found this resolution to a similar sounding problem in 2010, but am unsure if this is happening now. Google searching hasn't yeilded anything so far.

About PGP I can't tell; the hint you linked (and the suggested fix) might still be valid:
PGP recommends folks to decrypt their drives first, update to 10.6.5 and then re-encrypt.
this sounds as a general recommendation.
However fsck reported a sibling error (an invalid link sibling error I presume) and that's not fine. Afaik, Disk Utility can't fix it; DiskWarrior hopefully will. I quote from Alsoft Support Database:
Question
Is DiskWarrior capable of repairing an "Invalid Sibling Link" error?
Answer
This is an error you definitely don't want. It indicates that parts of your directory, and therefore some of your files and folders, are inaccessible.
Mac OS Standard (HFS) and Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk directories have a very complex structure. Each file or folder (item) on a disk has an entry in the disk's directory. These entries are in order of enclosing folder and then item name. This is similar to a yellow pages directory being ordered by type of business and then business name. Just like a yellow pages directory, the disk directory has pages except that its pages are called nodes. Unlike the yellow pages, nodes are dynamic and change as you add and delete items. It's sort of like a realtime yellow pages.
Imagine that the pages of the yellow pages are not in order and at the bottom of each page it says "Continued on page n," where n is the page that contains the next set of listings for the particular type of business that you're looking up. Well nodes are not arranged in order and each node has a reference, or link, to the next node that contains the next set of ordered items. This link is what is referred to as the sibling link.
A sibling link error is a bad link to another node. Either the link refers to the wrong node or it refers to an invalid node. As I said, a sibling link error makes some of your items inaccessible and can even prevent a disk from mounting. Sibling errors are notoriously difficult for some of the patching type of disk repair utilities to repair. Sometimes the repairs fail and the directory is damaged further. If a disk with a sibling link error is still mountable, I would advise backing up the accessible files and folders on the disk before attempting to repair it with that type of disk repair utility.
I'm not really sure DiskWarrior will work on a PGP encrypted disk. According to a few old Google matches, it should. See e.g.:
http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4263350
but according to more recent ones, it won't:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2719460?start=0&tstart=0
It seems you're out of luck even with Safe Boot (from PGP Whole Disk Encryption Command Line User's Guide):
The Mac OS X Safe Boot feature does not work on a boot disk that has been whole disk encrypted; if you hold down the Shift key to enter Safe Boot, the system will fail to boot after authenticating at the PGP BootGuard screen.
So, while you're waiting for some more knowledgeable advice, you might backup your data to an external drive while booted in single user mode. There are many how-tos out there; I think this one is pretty clear:

PGP Encryption in FTP Adapter

Hi All,
We need to do FTP some files from remote server and files are to be pgp encrypted or decrypted.Can you please tell is there some way to use pgp encryption in FTP adapter. If yes, please provide some link for documentation.
or shall we do ftp using some other program which support pgp encryption and then our bpel process should read file using file adapter.
Please suggest better option out of both.
Thanks.

Hi Ram,
Is the scenario same in Oracle SOA Suite11g latest release as well?
If we have to go for OpenPGP tool manual intervention is requried to encrypt the file which may not be possible in our scenario.
Thanks

Linux script for PGP encryption

Hello,
We are trying to do PGP encryption by giving the OS command in the File adapter. Can somebody provide me the exact linux script that we should use to do PGP encryption?
Note: We have XI-3.0 on LINUX.
Promise points for helpful answers.
Regards,
Raji.

Hi Rajashree
PGP Encryption is used to support the transmission of sensitive data to / from third party systems via XI.
Adapter modules are developed to encrypt the file using PGP.
We had a similar requirement where we used PGP encryption.The module was developed using Cryptix OpenPGP which is a Java implementation of the OpenPGP standard.When the module is called in the adapter, it uses the PGP key provided by the party that will receive the encrypted message. This module should be called prior to calling the Sap adapter
Logic Flow/Processing:
1.Read the XML payload and message for getting the needed data.
2.Read the key to be used in the encryption and log the key to be used and the beginning of the encryption.
3.Call the PGP encryption and compression method.
4.Log whether encryption has been successful.
5.Set as payload the message content encrypted, and the principal data.
6.If any error occurs, logs an exception in PGP adapter module and the error reason.
7.Return the message.

If you want to use the unix script on windows then you need cygwin. Take the shell executable and cygwin.dll and copy them to another machine and try out.
Else you write an .exe or a batch file where you will give your PGP command to encrypt and decrypt and execute it from the OS level in your adapter. Check my answer in this thread:

Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

Hello,
I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
Thank you for help.

Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?

PGP encryption and decryption in soa suite

Hi,
We have a requriement where bpel process plays the role of encrypting a file using PGP encryption and then it has to be placed onto a SFTP server using an FTP adapter. We would like to know if this can be done using an owsm policy or a seperate java api has to be created for this and invoked in the bpel process. Currently we have a seperate 3rd party tool which does this pgp encryption and it uses ksh shell script. Is there a way where i can invoke this shell script into my bpel process?
I found this note (FAQ (Customization) [ID 105127.1]) in oracle metalink.
How does one run a shell script as a concurrent program?
1: Write the script and call it .prog
Place the script under the bin directory under your applications
top directory.
For example, call the script CUSTOM.prog and place it under
$CUSTOM_TOP/bin
2: Make a symbolic link from your script to $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr
For example, if the script is called CUSTOM.prog use this:
ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr CUSTOM
This link should be named the same as the script without the .prog
extension.
It should be in the same directory as the script.
3: Register a concurrent program as described above, using an execution
method of 'Host'
Use the name of your script without the .prog extension as the name
of the executable
For the example above, you would use CUSTOM
4: The script will be passed at least 4 parameters, in $1 through $4
These will be: orauser/pwd, userid, username, request_id
Any other parameters you define will be passed in $5 and higher.
Make sure the script returns an exit status.
But i am ignorant in this area and do not know how the above steps can be executed.
If any of you guys have done pgp encryption in soa 11.1.1.4, please do let me know if there's any way how i can couple pgp encryption into soa suite.
Thanks

You can do it in Java, have a look at this...

We have written a PGP Adapter module for encryption and decryption of data. We are using open PGP for the same.
Now when banks send us RSA encrypted file our PGP module successfully decrypts it but when they send DHA encrypted file, our module fails to decrypt giving us CLASS CAST Exception.
Could someone pls put some light on this issue.
