-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Beesley, Paul Sent: Monday, April 19, 2021 5:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IBM Encryption Facility for OpenPGP [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] Hi Does anyone use IBM Encryption Facility for OpenPGP (FMID HCF7740), specifically to encrypt files on z/OS and decrypt them on Windows or Linux? I can successfully encrypt a file using a PassPhrase (not keys) and can decrypt it on another mainframe system. However, if I send the encrypted file to another platform I cannot decrypt it. It detects that I've used a passphrase, and AES_256, but will not accept the PassPhrase. This is what I get on Windows: C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Downloads>gpg -o D2021109.TEST3.TXT --decrypt D2021109.TEST3.ENC gpg: AES256.CFB encrypted session key gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase gpg: decryption failed: Bad session key On Linux it's similar but the message is gpg: decryption failed: no secret key Any help welcome. I do have a PMR open with IBM, but every little helps... Paul Atos is a trading name used by the Atos group.
