Secure Files
While there is a larger amount a security around networks, files that are transmitted over them may need to be secure in themselves. This is achieved through encryption.
The standard encryption is Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and its open source equivalent GNU Privacy Guard (GPG). Redhat provides GPG version 2 (GPG2) by standard with RHEL6.
