Not all transactions can be SSL. Some legacy apps use FTP. Using
PGP-encrypted files in an automated processing environment allows for secure
data transfer, between systems. This allows us HIPAA compliancy, for
instance.
I'd rather be using SSL, but being an ASP can't choose my clients
environments...
