Generating a PGP Key Pair
Within an SAP Cloud Integration for data
services
organization, generate a single PGP key pair.
The key pair contains a public key and a private key. The organization public key can be
sent to third-parties who can use it to encrypt data. SAP Cloud Integration for data
services can decrypt the data
using the organization private key.
