Encrypt and Upload Files

Straddle may request your organization to upload files for additional analysis or for a proof of concept of various services.

Payment and sensitive personal data must always be encrypted before it can be shared with Straddle.

Examples of files that can be uploaded include:

Feedback files: Consumer or bank account records that have been scored by Straddle.

POC (Proof of Concept) files and Retro files: Consumer or bank account records that have not been scored by Straddle.

All files must be in CSV format and encrypted using the

Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG)⁠

implementation of the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption standard before they are uploaded to the Straddle file server.

Download the Straddle PGP public key

Every data file sent sent to Straddle must be encrypted using the Straddle-provided PGP public key. Do not use any other public keys for encryption.

Straddle provisions you with a public PGP key pair for encryption. You can access the PGP public key in one of the following ways:

Encrypt the CSV file with PGP

Do not sign the file before or after encryption.

The file encryption process in this section uses the

Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG)⁠

implementation of the PGP encryption standard. To encrypt your CSV file, complete the following steps:

1. Open the command line on your computer.

2. Import your Straddle PGP key with the following command:

gpg --import {key}.asc

3. If successful, the command line returns a message similar to the following:

gpg: key 6CFE17E37C6960B7: public key "straddle share <trust@straddle.io>"

imported gpg: Total number processed: 1

gpg: imported: 1

4. Use the --encrypt option to encrypt the file and specify the following options:

clientname_encrypted.gpg: The name of the newly encrypted file.

trust@straddle.io: The name of the encrypted file recipient.

filename.csv: The name and path of the CSV file.

The following is an example of the encryption command with all options specified:

gpg --output clientname_encrypted.gpg --encrypt

--recipient trust@straddle.io filename.csv
