Has anyone ported GPG to the AS400 platform? I see there were some
posts in August and September (in the comp.security group) asking
about PGP, but there don't seem to be any answers to cheap/free PGP
compatible encryption yet for the AS400.

Barbara,

Patrick Townsend (www.patownsend.com) ported PGP to the 400. It's a
commercial product.

Nathan,
Thank you for the information. After seeing your post, I talked with
a lady from Patrick Townsend, and found that the product costs in the
$5K-$10K range. That's pretty normal for a supported product, but too
much cost for our smaller trading partners to assume when they're only
encrypting for one transmission. I'm still hoping for GnuPG or other
compatible product that would be very low cost or free, yet still
reliable.

Check "www.iseriesnetwork.com" and "www.search400.com" I recall seeing
someone who had created a PGP program for the AS400 and had provided
the source code for it. I think it was even written in RPGIV.
