Overview

The Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) Key API generates key pairs and provides a public key to encrypt data that you send to Visier. PGP encryption adds an additional layer of security against data disclosure.

After you generate a key pair and retrieve the public encryption key, you can encrypt your data files before sending them to Visier. For more information, see Encrypt files. When Visier receives files encrypted with the public key, we retrieve the associated private key to decrypt and process the file.

Use this API to:

  • Generate a key pair and download a public encryption key.
  • Retrieve a specific PGP public key using a key ID.
  • Retrieve a list of PGP public keys in your Visier tenant.
  • Delete a PGP key pair.
