The PGP decryption feature in Jedox enables users to securely decrypt files that have been encrypted with PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) directly within the platform. Connections that support PGP decryption are CSV, ExcelFile, JSON, Parquet, and XML.
Most PGP tools allow you to export the private (secret) key. Export the private key and make it available to your Jedox Instance. You can upload files of type .asc.
The private key block can be found by opening the file with a text editor and looking for the following string:
-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----
Note that the public key is not useful for decryption.
The key name is generated automatically and cannot be edited.
You can add a key description to help identify which key is used in which project. The description should be less than 50 characters long.
Once you have uploaded a key, you can use it for the connections mentioned above.
After importing a key, a restart of the Jedox Integrator service in the Cloud Console is required for it to be available.
