ZIP/390 Version 5 goes GA on December 15th, 2006
Availability
of SecurePartner Edition of ZIP/390 and ZIP/VSE for zSeries.
SecurePartner
Edition provides a platform for exclusive secure electronic exchange of
files between a sponsor and its partners, with no licensing expense for the
partners.
With the
scope of data privacy mandates expanding to include the requirement that
data remain secure at rest as well as during transmission, secure
transmission alone (e.g., VPN, SFTP, etc.) is no longer enough in many
cases. One way to insure that information is secure both during and after
transmission is to exchange strong encrypted files. Entities wishing to
exchange strong encrypted files must agree upon and implement a file
encryption format. ZIP AES and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) are two popular
such formats; SecurePartner Edition supports both formats.
