PGP was choosen as it will be used by external as well as internal machines. We will receive a PGP encrypted file, and proceed to process the data within. HOWEVER, we will also use the same public key to encrypt files that are to be archived on the same system (encrypting to ourselves). This is being done mearly to be consistant with the rest of our processes. If it would be better to use a different encryption I'm open to suggestions.

Unfortunately all of the data concerned falls into this group. We have credit card info (which you mention *may* be treated like passwords), but we need to validate the account numbers and perform other processing on them (send to a merchant processor for billing).

Unfortunatly we don't have an option for any of this to be interactive. Just batch.
