Creating PGP Keys
You can use any OpenPGP-compliant software to generate Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) keys. The key
that you generate must be an RSA key. These free OpenPGP solutions are available:
Cybersource
recommends that you follow these guidelines:- Make the key at least 2048 bits long.
- Store the private key in an encrypted format to protect it from unauthorized use.
- Back up the private key in case of disaster.
Place the backup of the private key on removable media, and lock it in
secure storage.
Cybersource
does not receive a copy of your
private key and cannot decrypt files that are encrypted with your public key. After you
create a public/private key pair, add the public key to the Business Center
as
described in the next section.
