Creating PGP Keys

You can use any OpenPGP-compliant software to generate PGP keys. The key you generate must be an RSA key. The following free OpenPGP solutions are available:

Cybersource recommends that you do the following:

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.
