Pgp decryption

Description

The PGP Decryption activity decrypts files that were encrypted using Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). It requires a valid PGP private key and its associated password to perform secure, symmetric decryption. This is typically used in scenarios where sensitive files (e.g., financial reports, health records) are received in encrypted form and need to be decrypted for internal processing.

The activity ensures data confidentiality and is suitable for secure file transfers or protected storage workflows.

Use case: You receive customer data from partners in .pgp format and want to decrypt it automatically before importing into your system.
