PGP versus PKWare

[Marty <marti () videotron ca>]

Hi,

We are looking at sending confidential information over the Net and we
want to encrypt the data.

PREREQUISITES : 

1- The solution must run on IBM AIX...

2- No freeware (company policy)



We've looked at different solutions. Two of them kept our attention.

PGP

PKWare

The PGP version is expensive (10K$) because for AIX it comes bundeled
with other applications we don't need. 


PKWare is the entreprise version that encrypts with AES.

PKWare has a nice looking Lotus Notes interface. Have any of you used it
before?


The questions are : 

1- Is this type of encyption secure enough?

2- Wich one of the two should we go for?

Merci

Marty!
