PGP combines some of the best features of modern cryptography, including compression, digital signatures and public key encryption.
Encrypting your data files prior to transmitting them to TALX protects the data as it travels to us.
Public Key Encryption
Public key cryptography is an encryption scheme that uses a pair of keys for encryption: a public key, which encrypts data, and a private key for
decryption. To send encrypted data to TALX, you must download TALX public key (below) and encrypt the file with that key.
The following steps are necessary to use PGP to encrypt files before sending to TALX:
You are now ready to begin encrypting your data files. Here are some general guidelines:
- Compression is built into the encryption, so it is not necessary to zip your data files before or after encryption.
- TALX issues keys that expire every six months.
- The current key will expire on 07/25/2012. If you are using the previous
version of our key, please note that it will expire and stop working
on 01/25/2012.
