A company is designing a mule application to consume batch data from a partner's ftps...

To securely consume compressed and digitally signed files from a partner's FTPS server, the following inputs are required:

PGP Public Key of the Partner:

Purpose: Used to verify the digital signature of the files received from the partner. This ensures that the files were indeed sent by the partner and have not been tampered with.

Implementation: Import the partner’s PGP public key into the Mule application.

PGP Private Key for the Company:

Purpose: Used to decrypt the files that were encrypted by the partner using the company's public key. This ensures that only the intended recipient (the company) can access the contents of the files.

Implementation: Configure the Mule application to use the company’s PGP private key for decryption.

FTP Username and Password:

Purpose: Used to authenticate and establish a connection to the partner's FTPS server. The credentials ensure that only authorized users can access the server.

Implementation: Provide the FTP credentials in the Mule application's FTPS connector configuration.

By using these inputs, the Mule application can securely connect to the FTPS server, verify the integrity and authenticity of the files using PGP, and decrypt the contents for further processing.
