To encrypt or decrypt files or plaintext using Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or X.509 certificates as part of a chain, add a step that includes an Encryption connection command.
To enable these commands, an IT admin first creates an Encryption connection.
Decrypt with PGP key
To decrypt a file or text with your PGP key, use a Decrypt with PGP key command.
