Have the ability to import a public and secret key ring into native PGP for B2Bi.

I believe that this functionality would be useful for the user community to be able to import an entire key ring (both public and secret) instead of having to import the keys individually.

What is your industry? Healthcare
How will this idea be used?

A customer should be able to export in entire public key ring from GPG and be able to download it from a backend server. Then upload the entire keyring into B2Bi through a wizard. Same with a secret key ring.


For the public key ring:


The functionality would be under the Trading Partner -> PGP -> PGP Public Key section of the Administration Menu. Then in the PGP Public Key section, there should be an option to "Check-in a new PGP Public Keyring".


For the secret key ring:


The functionality would be under the Trading Partner -> PGP -> PGP Secret Key section of the Administration Menu. Then in the PGP Secret Key section, there should be an option to "Check-in a new PGP Secret Keyring".

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    We have reviewed this request with our technical team and have determined that we may already support the use case you have described in your request.

    As of B2Bi 6.1.2.2, we allow for import/export of PGP keys via the B2Bi dashboard.


    Can you see if the above addresses your need?

    If we have misunderstood your request, please let us know and provide additional details so that we can better understand the requirement. If you have any additional feedback or thoughts in the meantime, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.

    We are currently reviewing this request with our technical team and will update the status once our analysis is complete. We are working on a new SFG redesign, and as part of that effort, we will consider this functionality in our designs.
