PGP-encrypted (2048 bit +) over SFTP. That's what most financial institutions use.

Secure yes,... but doing it this way would require a good amount of user training. And if it's anymore more complicated then simply attaching a file, they never want to do it.Originally Posted by CeeBee
No big training. Create a drop folder on the encryption server and have a script poll that folder for new files and encrypt them. Files will be available in encrypted format within seconds. Easy to do in a batch or powershell script.
There are also apps that can do it automagically for the user, but the dictator in me wouldn't trust the users with giving them the encryption keys.
When you work with other parties you MUST choose a solution that can be implemented on any common OS (XP to Win8 and several Unix/Linux flavors). Financial institutions usually deal with PGP and they will *NOT* allow the installation of whatever software you want them to use - you must conform to what they use.
Some may require you to drop the files on a FTP site so your users must be ready to do it - or you can have a script handle that too...
