Solaris bundles OpenSSL? I didn't know that; neat. Of course you
still have to design, write, and maintain your own software built
on top of that.
At the cost of "maintaining" PGP, you also remove the question
about what format, algorithm, and crypto mechanisms to use when
you "protect" a file. Given that you are asking some pretty basic
questions about cryptography, I think this is a good trade-off for
your team to make.
